Posted by The ORION Kid on Thu Oct 30 03:01:43 2014, in response to Some question whether NYC to Newark Airport PATH train is best use of funds, posted by Gold_12th on Thu Oct 30 00:33:48 2014. "You can already get on a train in Manhattan and go to EWR" BLAH BLAH BLAH BULLSH*T. Midtown and Downtown are 2 very different places and if your NJ State Legislator ass doesn't know that, whatever, it's not your job to know about OUR problems in NY. It's the PAs job on the other hand to build things that benefit BOTH states and PATH to EWR is doing just that. These NJ pols are complaining about something that will ultimately benefit them with sales tax revenue from the Lower Manhattan crowd this will bring through EWR. Lower Manhattan NEEDS this, we're growing like never before and we need better airport connections by mass transit. The MTA and PA have already helped on the NY/JFK/LGA side of things with the Q70, JFK Airtrain and so on, but this actually benefits BOTH states. Would you rather the MTA start a new JFK Express and then Jersey gets nothing? I don't think so, these NJ pols should want EWR to function as a NYC airport just as much as LGA and JFK do, but getting to EWR for us downtown now is not practical at all by mass transit, going up on the subway to Penn or taking the PATH to Newark Penn and changing to another, expensive train makes zero sense over taking the (A) to Howard Beach for the JFK AirTrain. |
