Right, and what's wrong with that? They aren't taking the AirTrain from the Howard Beach station.It's quite simple. For instance, I could drive from Bristol, England, to Cardiff, Wales. It's 44 miles. There's a toll on the bridge across the Severn estuary. Alternatively, I could drive to a nice mediaeval free bridge at Gloucester, and it would be 101 miles. Somehow, my £5.10 (about $10) is worth it, seeing as the Severn estuary is a pretty big natural barrier that took a terrific work of engineering to overcome, and that work requires maintenance. The JFK barrier, however, is pathetic. It's a fence. It would be cheaper simply not to maintain it, and my journey would be shorter for less money. Airtrain itself is entirely outside the fare zone, and therefore totally irrelevant to the toll. |
