Posted by TransitChuckG on Sat Nov 9 02:55:34 2019, in response to Airtrain to LGA, posted by Train Dude on Fri Nov 8 09:35:06 2019. AirTrain to LGAPassenger Facility Charge Even if the NIMBYs wanted the Astoria line extension, federal law prohibits use of Airport money for direct subway/commuter rail to a airport property using PFC money (Passenger Facility Charge) Existing services were grandfathered (such as Atlanta. When MARTA was planned, the Airport station space was included for future build .) The EWR and JFK air trains do not have a direct track connection to existing rail services .PATH's proposed extension will only go to the EWR rail station where customers must transfer to the EWR Airtrain at an extra fare .In NYC there is an extra fare for Airtrain JFK from the subway/LIRR. The fare Is doubled If you Use Airtrain JFK to go from Jamaica to Howard Beach (pay to enter at either station and pay again to exit at the other station . ) The proposed LGA airtrain at Willets Point meets requirements for use of PFCs since it will not enter LGA property. PFCs were instituted when security was tightened at airports and can only be used for passenger space such as customs,l screening or rail service to but not entering airport property, etc. Boston and Reagan Airports are adjacent to the airport and Dulles will be adjacent to the airport. I believe Philly's line is adjacent to the Airport. MTA Maryland does not enter airport property. |
