Posted by Allan on Thu Oct 30 15:29:38 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. "with a low-cost, one-seat ride on a new PATH line to Newark Airport."One seat??? Does that mean that PATH train will go right into the Airport rather than to the NJT Airport station?? Knowing the PA they would never give up the opportunity to get that extra fare for the AirTrain. So let's see PATH fare $3.25 (I am projecting a couple of PATH fare increases in by the time anything happens) plus the AirTrain fee of $6.50 (I expect that the AirTrain fee would go up too by that time) so it would cost $9.25 from lower Manhattan (or Midtown with a transfer at JSQ) via PATH. I am still trying to figure out how PATH would do it. Since the PATH access tracks (current layup) are on the west side of the Amtrak ROW, they could not just continue the tracks because they would have to cross over the Raritan Valley line tracks at grade before the Airport rail station. They'd have to build a flyover somewhere. |
