The physical configuration of the subway is fine for carrying bags. I'm talking about people who live in NYC but don't have good subway access. So better mass transit is subway extensions, TriboroRX, better LIRR and MN service, transit malls for busses, light rail, etc, etc.There is no reason for AirTrain to go to Manhattan. That's what the subway is for. It's just a bridge to bridge the subway and LIRR to the airport terminal in a way that's easier to use and faster than bus shuttles. Soon LIRR will go to GCT, making things even easier for people going to the airport if they want to pay the big bucks for LIRR over the subway. The existing system is absolutely already the answer for the places it goes, i.e. anywhere in Manhattan, and much of the outer boroughs. And most of those areas are bus-connected. |
