Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon Feb 25 20:48:18 2008, in response to Re: Diagrams Re: Air Train question, posted by Charles G on Mon Feb 25 19:39:14 2008. OK. My guesses are that the PA wouldn't have build the station adjacent to the subway if they couldn't collect additional revenueEXACTLY!! There would have been no reason for them to even go through the expense of building that station at the HB transit staion, and the rest of the airtrain line after the Long Term Parking lot stataion if not for the fact that they would be getting revenue from building that station (which is all but useless for the parking lot). Even "bad transportation policy" is predicated on your assumption of greed. If one accepts the other arguments put forth -- that the AirTrain would not have been built to connect with HB station unless an additional charge could be collected -- it would seem to be a case of very good transportation policy. RIght! It wouldn't have made much sense to be so close, yet not have access from the A's station. However, for an UNNECESSARY station for the parking lot, the HB station was ONLY built and that last stretch built because of the NYCT station, not because they needed yet another parking station for their "circulator". So the real questin becomes -- Will anyone (present company included) be willing to actually say, "I've got my opinion and you've got yours. Until we get some facts, nothing is going to change"? I have said that countless times in more AirTrain threads than I care to remember. I said it even in this thread somewhere that my mind on this is not going to change, and of course we all know the other side of the fence won't change either. |
