Dulles's designers thought that by shuttling from the main terminal directly to a midfield [[jet ramp]], they could save passengers from long walking distances amidst weather, noise, and fumes on the ramp. The advent of the [[jet bridge]] and construction of the two midfield concourse buildings at this airport negated the benefits of the system.
