IIRC, the West Busway reroute cut all of 2 minutes off the scheduled time.
But maybe the Parkway West already worked okay?  (OK, the West Busway almost
certainly increased schedule reliability, which is good.)

Soaking airline passengers is a great tradition that PAT needs to be part
of.  It works pretty well in Philly -- $5.50 one-way, free if you have a
pass, *any* pass, including the relatively cheap city transit pass that
you wouldn't normally have a prayer of using on a Zone 5 Regional Rail trip.
The airport workers can get to their jobs without blowing half their
paycheck, and the passengers can get to their flight without blowing $25
on a cab.
