They joke, but.... https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/experience/landline.jsp

A bus that boards at a gate and drives to another airport and drops off at a gate..

There was a video of someone deliberately taking these lines and included someone a bit shocked that the 'flight' they booked was just a bus...

i believe this is fairly normal within the same airport for larger ones, the ticket says "gate 15B" but that's out in the middle of the fucking asphalt so to get there you actually go to gate 15A and get on a bus that takes you to the actual gate.
