If the opposition wants to use the "free circulator" card, then it musy also be acknowledged that there is no way they would have built the Howard beach station in the location it is in for just the circulator, especially when a second station isn't even needed for the lot.That needn't be acknowledged as it's not given. The Port Authority had no problem building the AirTrain out to the lot to begin with despite the fact that they knew they wouldn't collect a fare, so there's no reason to assume they would not have built it the short distance to the Howard Beach station had they been unable to collect a fee there. The cost of building the line out to the parking lot far exceeded the cost of building it a little further out to the HB station. It would have been silly not to connect with HB, yes, but that connection is not "because it's a circulator". I don't use "because it's a circulator" as one of my arguments. |
