Fine. Abandon AirTrain at the Lefferts Blvd station. Make the people from Howard Beach A's station instead board a "free" and unreliable bus. Keep it free. It would make the majority of people that use the A's Howard Beach connection quite unhappy, but would make about 5 people here at SubChat happy.

And yes, to have an AirTrain terminate at Lefferts (or not even go to Lefferts, forgo that leg altogether and just have the Jamaica leg, and a they could easily have served the long term lot with a bus shuttle to Federal Circle), would be far inferior of a system, and not serve as many people as it does now.
It's not a matter of a small shuttle Airtrain to Long term parking. They didn't need that station if they weren't going all the way to Howard Beach. That could have been done easily with a shuttle bus to Federal circle, and just have the Jamaica leg. It makes perfect sense that they would only built that leg if it went to Howard Beach, and a fare was charged for that. If they weren't getting fares, the shuttle bus between the long term lot and Federal Circle would have been just fine. But would have been a big loss to the subway riders that use the A station.
