Posted by The Silence on Tue Jan 20 14:35:13 2015, in response to Re: AirTrain Proposed To Connect (7) Line With LaGuardia Airport ($450 Million, 5 years), posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Jan 20 12:39:39 2015. Willets point is slightly shorter. The distance between Willets Point and the western end of the terminal B is the same as Astoria to that same point at the western end of Terminal B without serving the rest of the airport.There would be no need to navigate around the approach path to runway 4. Willets point has excess passenger capacity since about 7 to 8 out of 10 people who use that station in a year are there for Mets games or the US open. that's less than 90 days out of 365 the station sees major use. Form the ridership numbers I mentioned in the "least used station" thread: Astoria Blvd is #121 (3.9 million). Ditmars is #81 (5.4 million). Willets Point is #246 (1.9 Million). So Willets point is closer, has more space, and is an express stop on a line with at least some express service. |
