Tourist destinations typically involve bags anyway, especially Orlando, so taxis and Ubers are better. Houston would be a monster to connect.

Vancouver is not one of the busiest airports. Canada is a minnow with one metro area in the top 100 in the world. For the most part it's a very small number of people trying to move about. Hence why some of these high capital transportation investments really are not offering enough value.
Than factor in how terribly it gets designed. I have seen two projects on the Edmonton valley line LRT and both are double the cost and will be triple the time to complete due to how terrible the engineering and srchitectural work was.
