The AirTrain would basically become the new "JFK Express". To do that it would have to merge with the NYCT tracks at HB and then run the express route and stations into Manhattan. It would stop at some of the most important stops in NY. Lower Manhattan, Fulton St Transfer, PATH terminal, W4 St, NYP/34th, PA/42nd, Columbus Cr, an a chunk of uptown would all be covered as well as major points in Bklyn and Jamaica. It would make Pataki's expensive plan pointless. They can even extend it from Jamaica over the Van Wyck to Flushing and have another station next to the 7 and LIRR at Shea Stadium and theoretically have it keep going over GCP to La Guardia. If they need to use different standard cars so be it. The JFK inner circulator can stay the same. |
