The 4:40 a.m. shuttle

The airport shuttle is travel distilled: a van, a driver who has done this since before you were tired, a group of people who will never meet again. I have taken the 4:40 a.m. one more times than is healthy. It is always too cold and always on time enough.

Nobody reviews this because it is not a destination. It is the truth of a trip. Score is for competence. Competence is rare. When you get it, say thank you and get out.

Book the one with a real time, not a window. Sit near the door. Do not expect conversation.
