Posted by Terrapin Station on Mon Feb 18 09:52:19 2008, in response to Re: Diagrams Re: Air Train question, posted by SMAZ on Mon Feb 18 03:32:29 2008. the concept of a pedestrian toll would imply that in its absence there would be a flood of people entering the airport for free and dragging their luggage on foot to the terminals.Incorrect. The concept of a pedestrian toll implies that in it's absense there would be roughly the same amount of people, maybe 10% more, who would get off the A RIGHT AT THE BORDER OF AIRPORT PROPERTY, walk over a free bridge onto airport property, and then ride the FREE airport circulator FOR FREE. It also implies there there are train-averse lunatics in HB who actually do this on a regular basis and obviously and justly resent having to pay a toll to walk across JFK. No, it has nothing to do with walking to JFK. It has to do with the PANYNJ wanted to get more revenue from people who don't know any better. Of course in reality the only reason pedestrians actually pay this toll is to board AirTrain, hence they consider it a fare. Obviously. But that's a trick. The uneducated are fooled. When you look at what really happens at HB and Lefferts, you see what it really is - an inappropriate pedestrian toll. Airport circulators are always FREE, AFAIK. Why is this one any different??? |
