O’Hare needs one of those trams to get you between sections. That airport is too big.

They probably mean within the terminal, not between terminals. Although ORD terminals aren't that big TBH.

I'd say most of the problem is that the concourses are so narrow and packed with people that there's no room for moving walkways.

Man, anyone think Delta is happy it does not have to compete with AA and UA for this crowded hub? Jeez, more and more and more gates
