You've made a strong argument that the HB AirTrain charge is a pedestrian toll. The PANYNJ pretty much says so on its web site, saying that use of AirTrain on airport property is free, and there is a charge to exit to the subway at HB.

You've made a strong argument that the charge is unfair. But of course "unfair" is always a subjective thing so people can always have a different opinion.

You've made a moderate argument that the fare is bad transportation policy. I think the weak point in that argument is that the HB charge is so minor in the overall scheme of NY area transportation, that any badness of policy is virtually irrelevant.

So why not drop it now?

I keep looking at Airtrain posts in the hope that some of them may have something new to say, and I'm repeatedly disappointed.
