For Newark to the Upper East Side, I agree with you. The pain is not AirTrain to commuter rail; you'd have to do that at many airports that have multiple concourses (Atlanta, JFK, EWR, etc.)But then you have a largely non-ADA subway to deal with (Penn is now ADA with regard to subway, but it did not used to be until very recently). And what if your subway train gets held up at a red signal somewhere, or starts crawling because there's a slowpoke in front of it? Your route was not very conducive to using rail. Kennedy to any of the large CBDs, no problem. EWR to Newark or the Lower Manhattan EBD, no problem, and to the Upper West side, or Queens, less of a problem because you've got the IRT and A/E trains. The more ADA stations open, the better. And with a lot of bags (where you have both hands full), rail is always less comfuy than a car. That's true. Plus, EWR Rail has fewer trains per hour serving it than Jamaica station does. I have used EWR to save money in the past. What I have discovered recently is that the price differential between EWR and LGA or JFK has narrowed (10 years agoI got big discounts going to EWR). Have you found that to be true, or not? |
