One of my biggest oppositions to the "other side's" view on this Airtrain matter is the use of the phrase "pedestrian toll". Every time that ludicrous statement is used, it alienates me further against their supposed hate of the AirTrain's fare structure.

PANYNJ comes close to using that phrase itself by saying "AirTrain is free on airport property" and "$5 charge to exit to the subway" at Howard Beach.

Thus they are saying it is free to take Airtrain to the HB station. The only charge is to leave that station (and airport property) by one of the two available exits. That sounds very much like a pedestrian toll to me.

To me, calling it a pedestrian toll doesn't make it any more or less justified than calling it a transit fare.
