No element
of the airport design better illustrates Atlanta International's commitment
to smooth passenger flow than the one-mile (1.6 kilometer) underground mall
that connects the terminal and concourses. Travelers can choose to walk, step
onto a moving sidewalk or board the innovative transit system. Its vehicles
are automatically guided into and through concourse stations at 100-second
intervals, taking passengers to the farthest concourse in less than five minutes
- all at no cost to the rider.
Hartsfield-Jackson’s Automated People Mover (APM) transports passengers safely and efficiently between the North & South Terminals, where passengers purchase their tickets and check/retrieve their luggage, to the six concourses where travelers board/exit aircraft. The Airport’s APM is the largest in the world in terms of passengers transported, in fact during 2002, the APM accommodated more than 64 million passengers. Trains arrive every 110 seconds during peak operation times.
