The deserted location, abandoned transport and terrified stranded passengers reminds me a little of the setup in The Langoliers, particularly when our heroes are menaced by vast hordes of rapidly approaching bitey flying creatures. Luckily the SFX are notably better than the fying Pac Men of the 1995 Stephen King TV adaptation (though that's not hard - check out number 2 at Top 24 Worst Special Effects Of All Time if you're interested in seeing how bad it was).

You can get a better look at the airborne legions of flying jellyfish by clicking the thumbnails down the page a bit.
