Well, much better than Orlando - it took me 90 minutes and three buses to get from Maitland to the airport, with a lot of planning, had to print several pages of the schedule (and then skipped a line when jumping from page to page, so I was late for the flight - but the good guy there got me into another flight and I eventually got home 15 minutes earlier than planned :).

It would be interesting to know the statistics across the cities of the world, how many miles traveled per capita per diem, how many lines, or something like that.
