I know someone who is heavily involved in the taxi industry and who is currently dealing with stuff at the airport and I asked him what his opinion of the tunnel was, and he said it really didn't matter one way or another to him. He said it was mostly the hotels that wanted it built.

I think that the taxi lobby that wouldn't want it built are those based on it taking longer to get to the airport from certain locations (or vice-versa), and thus they get higher fares.
Purely personally I don't care whether they build the tunnel. I can't think of a time that I would ever use it. Who knows though, maybe there are a lot of people who see the value?
