"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"You could never cover enough of them, or run the trains fast enough and passengers already have excellent access, much better than you could give them, by means of the A, E and J/Z. The outewr circulators bring the airport to the trains (more than one). You'd be spending money to zero purpose. Pataki's plan has nothing to do with yours. While I think his plan should rank lower in priority than the SAS, the 7 extension and the ESA project, what Pataki wants to do is offer Lower Manhattan an LIRR station that would offer express service for JFK-bound passengers which is not only faster (60-80 mph) but more direct in route than yours. People who want commuter rail over subway are not going to use the subway. |
