    Both, kinda. His point was (if O recall correctly) to promote a faster light rail track from Munich central station to the FJS Airport, also in Munich. The main benefit would be that you “start your flight on the train” because the transfer is seamless (in theory).

      Almost, he advocated for building a ~37 km long maglev train (the Transrapid) between Munich main station and Munich airport.

      The project never made it past planning because it would’ve cost billions with limited economic gain.
