As it turns out it doesn't actually cost that much on regular transit, there's an AIRPORT SURCHARGE because it's an "airport train".
No wonder Americans don't use public transit, even when the system exists it's ridiculously difficult and expensive to use.
London has a expensive express line from Heathrow to the city and a regular underground line that costs a fraction.
Cool. I'll be in London in a few months. Are the express trains nicer or are they the same sets as the local, but faster?
I didn't use them, so no idea if they are nicer - but they were quite a bit faster, yes.
Pro tip for London: You can swipe your credit card at the entry and exit points of your underground travels and it will cost you much less then any tourist tickets they sell.
You worried about nice train seats instead of just getting to where you're going lmao
