That leg may not not have been viable to build that leg without connecting it to Howard Beach. And having an airtrain and not connecting it with a Howard Beach connection would have been an inferior undertaking.I disagree. Many/most free circulators SERVE THE LONG TERM LOT. And they are FREE. Why would JFK be any different? It was built on the property. It likely cost much less to build per mile than the Jamaica branch. And they needed to build the yard anyhow. And having a connection there, and a connection to the E and not wanting the A section to be a parasite to the E section, they need to charge a fare. Parasite? Come on. Many of you say that no one takes the bus from the subway to beat the $5 toll. So why are you now saying that people would take a "hell ride" on the (A) instead of a fast ride on the (E) if they would get rid of the $5 toll. |
