Posted by mack c-49 on Wed Jan 21 15:39:43 2015, in response to Air Train Proposed To Connect (7) Line With LaGuardia Airport; video, posted by gOlD_12tH on Tue Jan 20 11:59:31 2015. A rail link to LGA is greatly needed. Connecting to the 7, or any other IRT subway line, however, would be a defective choice. IRT subway cars are too narrow and congested to accomodate additional passengers with luggage heading for the airport! Commuting with luggage to JFK on the A, E, or J is harrowing enough on those relatively spacious cars. Any rail connection to LGA needs to hook into a BMT or IND line, and preferably one that provides an express connection to Manhattan. The 7 train stops far too many times between Manhattan and where the rail link would connect. Every station on a train crowded with luggage-toting passengers would be torturous on the 7. The IND line in Queens is the obvious choice if convenience is the object in connecting the subway to LGA. If convenience is not the object, then the great expense of this project will not be warranted. I would love to see LGA have a rail link to the subway and LIRR, but I think doing this through the 7 would be a terrible mistake. |
