You're drawing a conclusion based on the wrong observation, though.

No I'm not. I'm talking about existing conditions, to refute Chris's [ridiculous] claim that the alternative to the $5 fare at HB would have been to not build the HB branch at all.

The relevant inquiry is this: IF the Howard Beach of Airtrain were free, would ridership bound to/from it from NYCT's A route increase?

I have no idea. Why does that matter? And if it did increase, super! That's GOOD TRANSPORTATION POLICY!. Gets people out of cars and buses and onto the rails. And if it just shifted people away from the Jamaica branch, which would seem unlikely, at least in significant numbers, that would just prove that Chris and others are wrong when they says that no one dislikes the $5 toll to access the airport property at HB.
