It is debatable that direct links to the airport benefit the city, or more outsiders. People go through the city and out via the airport. Like Terminal 5 at Heathrow. Many passenger are transit passenger and never leave Heathrow, yet the locals have to put up with the pollution of planes.

Either way, we're talking about the workings of a scheme which may or may not go ahead. I agree that we need an Inner city link of some sort that is quick and sustainable, that we need an outer city link that is quick and sustainable. We also need a rail link directly to the airport.
It is prioritising it that matters.
The Innter city link i feel would best be achieved with better management of the infrastructure that is already available. I.e. bus and rail. If people don't want to bus it to town,
Busses will not improve image and attract investment to inner cities, or move people around quickly or quickly give connections to other parts of the city - an underground station will. Look at what the Jubilee Line did in London.
