Airport connections have a big benefit for workers at the airport
As far as passengers go in North America 5-15% of passenger trips take transit typically with rail connections. Vancouver is at 21% leading in North America.
Vancouver also has poor road infrastructure so the fastest way to go downtown to airport is the train whereas in Calgary in almost all scenarios car/taxi will still beat train.
