Using the Historic Terminal 5 Head House at JFK as a Bus Terminal? |

Posted by NIMBYkiller on Sun Jul 8 18:07:38 2012 What do you guys think about using the former TWA building at JFK Terminal 5 as a central bus station for JFK Airport? While there are some airports that are situated well enough that they could easily be integrated with Amtrak, JFK clearly is not one of those. You need to take Airtrain to the subway/RR and use that to connect to Amtrak to take you elsewhere in the region. Unless Amtrak extends it's WoH running trains to JFK, it's a very inefficient for connecting travel. And then what about those destined for locations that require running over the Hell Gate? Perhaps in the case of JFK, a bus would be better. Service could head primarily towards New England, but perhaps also other areas that a direct rail service out of Jamaica could not access competitively. It's a beautiful building that's basically laying dormant, unless jetBlue has finally begun using it? |
