Airplanes: One way in, one way out

So I'm boarding a flight, and as anybody who has flown before knows, it takes a very long time for everybody to get onto the plane, put their luggage where it needs to be, wait for people to stop blocking the aisle, stand up and let someone take the window seat, et cetera, et cetera. It takes almost the same amount of time to get off the plane, though it takes a little less time because everyone's anxious to get out.
Planes have one entrance and one exit. That's not very efficient. Why can't there be two connections between the plane and the airport, like a lot of modern-day buses?
