Posted by UWS Greg on Sun Apr 23 01:47:17 2006, in response to Bring the JFK Express back...can it be done?, posted by Subway Camper on Fri Apr 21 22:14:45 2006. I fly out of JFK a lot, usually 2-3x a month. I can't imagine why so many people take the A train... maybe just force of habit.Of course the LIRR is the fastest way to Jamaica/AirTrain but from midtown, the E takes only about 10-12 minutes longer than the LIRR... and is a WHOLE lot faster than the A to Howard Beach. I'm always amazed to see throngs of people at 42nd/8th, obviously on their way to JFK, waiting for a downtown A when they'd do much better crossing over and taking the uptown E. However, an important factor is luggage... and time of day. If someone's juggling lots of bags on the E, inbound in the morning or outbound in the afternoon would be a nightmare. |
