Atlanta's Airport Asks You To Name Their Train
If you’ve ever flown through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport you have probably taken a ride on the underground train that ferries passengers from one concourse to another. Technically it’s not really a train, but according to the airport it’s an "Automated People Mover." Regardless of its official title, the thing is celebrating its 30th birthday with a little contest.
The airport isn’t totally thrilled over the train’s lack of identity, and they’re using the power of social networking to help it get one. They’re launching a Name The Train contest, and they’re asking everyone to help out. We’re assuming they prefer a nice and pretty name, so frequent flyers that have missed their flights due to the train should probably not share their choices. However, our experience with Atlanta's Automate People Mover has been pretty positive, even if it’s usually a little hot and a lot smelly.
The only downside to the contest is that the prize is pitiful. The grand prize winner will get a $100 American Express gift card and a certificate of recognition. There better be some airline tickets taped to the back of that certificate or something.
To enter, all you have to do is watch a YouTube video of a short promotional piece and leave a comment with your suggestion. You can do the same thing on Facebook, but you should also probably become a fan of the airport. They’re kind of hurting with less than 2,000 online pals. We won’t share our best ideas, but we will share our worst—how about the "Hotlanta Express?"
