We waited for years to jump on the light rail just blocks from our house and ride to DIA. On opening weekend, we took the A-Train and gawked at the fine new hotel, wonderful station … and the long security lines inside the terminal. But in just a month we re facing a bitter fact: If our flight departs from about 5 a.m. to almost 9 a.m., we simply can t ride the A-Train and make it to DIA in time to stand in the TSA line for a couple of hours. That s because all the feeder lines are closed from about 2 a.m. until almost 5 a.m. The buses are pretty much the same.

What good is a train to the airport if you can t use it in those crucial morning hours?
