The PHX Sky Train is a free, 24-hour electric people mover at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Automated Train )〕 The first segment opened to the public on April 8, 2013.〔http://www.azcentral.com/insiders/phxbeat/2013/03/21/phx-sky-train-to-open-apr-8/〕 The second segment, extending the train to Terminal 3 (with a walkway to Terminal 2) opened on December 8, 2014 〔http://www.azcentral.com/story/nowdeparting/2014/12/08/sky-harbor-sky-train-expands-to-terminal-3/20087309/〕 The PHX Sky Train is gradually replacing shuttle buses, which is expected to reduce road congestion, pollution, bus noises, diesel soot, and pitting and buckling of roadways caused by the heavy buses. The final segment of the PHX Sky Train which will extend service to the Rental Car Center is planned by 2020. The PHX Sky Train features a bridge over Taxiway R, one of three which connect the north and south runways. This is the first location in the world where a rail system of any kind crosses over an active taxiway.〔http://www.phxskyharbor.com/〕〔 〕 The bridge is tall enough to accommodate a Boeing 747 and an Airbus A380. == Construction == Phase 1 (Dec 2008 - Apr 2013) links Terminal 4, the East Economy Parking lot and garages, and the 44th St light rail station. The guideway runs in a new underpass (below the Union Pacific railroad), past the jet-fuel tank farm, and alongside 44th Street. Estimated cost was just over $1 billion in 2005. The PHX Sky Train Phase 1 was completed April 8, 2013. Phase 1a (see picture) which connects Terminal 4 and Terminal 3 (and Terminal 2 via a covered walkway) opened December 8, 2014. Since the airport's long term plans call for the closure of Terminal 2, a stop at Terminal 2 will not be built. The final segment, phase 2 - out to the Rental Car Center - should be complete by 2020. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「PHX Sky Train」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
