"Have you ever tried transfering from Airtrain to the subway or LIRR at Jamacia? "Yes. With luggage. And I only have full use of one hand. "I wouldn't exactly call it a seamless or pleasant connection, especially if I have luggage" There isn't anything more seamless around, especially with the central eevator bank connecting everything together. You're back to foaming. "You try publicizing this, explaining to people why it must be done, what the benefits are, and try ignoring their complaint that they don't want to have to wait in the cold or summer heat for another bus." In other words, you forget all about why your agency exists. It's to serve customers. That's what got Richard White fired. That's also why you don't work there. Of course, maybe you think you do. A SEPTA manager once remarked that transit is a little like daytime soap operas (the knock on the door and there's the son you never knew you had) . The foamers like you are employees the agency never knew it had. Most of the time it doesn't cost them anything, so it's OK. "You can get from practically anywhere in downtown Chicago to either Midway or O'Hare Airport without a change in trains" Chicago has one central business district, and it's smaller than New York's (which has several CBDs). Even so, you'd still have to hike to a train through the streets if you were 100% allergic to changing trains. "You can get from almost anywhere in downtown DC to National Airport without a change of trains, and the subway station is right next to the main terminal." Comparing Reagan to JFK is ridiculous, but you already know that. La Guardia is the appropriate comparison point. "and most terminals at O'Hare only require a long walk at most" Which is why the airTrain arrangement is far superior to it. The distance from any AirTrain station to your gate is much less and there are no exceptions. "The new terminal at Midway reduced the walk from the terminal to the subway station." Yes, this was very nicely designed, bravo for them. But that's a LaGuardia class airport, not JFK. If you want respect for your knowledge and ability to reason, you'll have to earn it. You're a good photographer who otherwise is an ignorant immature foamer. That's a fact. The only way to get around that is for you to educate yourself and grow up. |
