Peds get charged the PEDESTRAIN TOLL!!!!That's ecactly my point!! There ARE no pedestrians there, only people that are potential fare evaders. It's the fact that the option is available and doable. For the one person a year that may walk all the way from their Howard Beach home dragging their luggage? It does not bring you to the property. It brings you from the NYCT station to the circulator loop. There are no airport circulators in this country that I know of that charge you for this service, and the HB branch is no different. Right, and the CIRCULATOR loop part of the airtrain is free like everywhere else. The trains that bring you from Howard Beach or Jamaica are not. If you walk, you pay the pedestrian toll to walk through a previously free pedestrian connection to the (A) train station. But that was the point, WHO? is walking to the HB station, all one of them a year from their Howard Beach home? No, it's potential fare evaders from mthe HB NYCT station. If they didn't charge there, and left the gate open, all those people would try and evade the fare, and walk to the parking lot mixing with the people that paid for their Airtrain trip via parking. If it's felt that that parking fee is not enough, then raise the parking fee. Right! They don't pay anything! Why is that?!?! Because they are not using the service from the Howard Beach station. |
