Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Fri Feb 29 16:32:45 2008, in response to Re: Air Train question, posted by Spider-Pig on Fri Feb 29 13:01:30 2008. Did you not read my next sentence? I will use this post of yours as evidence that you are ignoring our points, dismissing them out of hand and then repeating the same thing over and over again.Okay then: Doesn't mean that one was never published. I'm sure there was. But I won't look it up because the popularity of an idea does not establish whether that idea be valid. Yes, I have read that whole sentence. Just because YOU believe there is a problem doesn't mean there is a problem. I have never seen anywhere one article, nada, zilch, nothing, that even hints at this problem. No, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but just because there "could" be an article out there somewhere, doesn't mean there is the big problem that is always said to be about this $5 thing. Just because "you and some others" feel you are correct doesn't mean you are correct any more than I and others on the other side are correct. The AirTrain basher people however feel their points are more valid or more correct than the opposition. You say there is a problem, I say there isn't. You are not more correct than I am just because you feel it's a "pedestrian toll". False. It is not the same sort of connection and in the posts which you have ignored we have demonstrated this to be the case. Unless of course you wish to define which "sort" of connection these are. I have explained more times than I care to thinkk about about this. YES Jamaica is longer. But it IS a same kind of connection. In both connections, it will bring you to the terminals, in about the same time. One travels further. Just because one is at the edge of the airport, and just because one just happens to also pick up parking lot people in addition to people coming from the subway doesn't mean it's a different type of connection. If the PA decided to make a parkinglot somewhere along the Jamaica line, with a station added to service that, where people boarded for free, it would be no different either. Both connect to the subway (and one to the LIRR too), and both bring you to the airport efficiently in 10 minutes (or so). No, it should not be. By your argument, B, C, D, F, G, L, M, N, Q, R, V, W, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and Rockaway, Franklin Avenue and 42nd Street Shuttle passengers are treated inequitably because they don't have an equal connection to the AirTrain. Why not build AirTrain out to connect to all of them? No, not at all. The lines that currently connect to AirTrain should be treated equally, that is not to say that every line NEEDS to connect to airtrain, just because some subway lines do. If however a third leg was to one day connect to another subway line (let's say the 3 for arguments sake), that connection should also be $5, no more, no less than the other connections if it did). Length of the route doesn't matter. You can travel from 207th St on the A to Chambers St for the same price as someone that only travels from Broadway-Nassau to Chambers St. I have made this point before but of course you have ignored it. No I haven't ignored it. Just because I don't agree with your assesment doesn't mean I "ignored it". I don't find it to be a valid argument supporting this idea of AirTrain. You may, I don't. Doesn't mean it has been ignored. |
