Posted by NIMBYkiller on Thu Jul 30 01:36:15 2020, in response to Re: LIRR+Park Avenue, posted by Osmosis Jones on Wed Jul 29 02:44:37 2020. JFK is a sprawling complex with 6 active terminals. You physically can not have a single station, or even 2 stations, at JFK and serve every terminal and keep a reasonable walk (walking distance is typically viewed as 1/4 mile but it is arguably way less than that when luggage is involved). As it is the walk from Airtrain to Jetblue at Terminal 5 is tedious at best. Imagine making that longer and then doing it for every terminal. That means your only other option is to have a central station and still have a distribution service to get to the terminals, which is exactly what the current set up is. The only difference is that central station is actually located at Jamaica & Howard Beach. Direct rail service only works for airports whose terminal facilities are more tightly knit. |
