Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Mar 2 20:51:18 2008, in response to Re: Air Train question, posted by Terrapin Station on Sun Mar 2 20:24:51 2008. Um, no. The lot is no where near the loop.Right, so they chose to put the parking lot station on their PAID branch to HB. The branch to Howard Beach meets all the requirements of a circulator and none of the requirements of a rapid transit line. Some sort of service is needed to get people from that transit station to the terminals. That is one of two PAID branches of Airtrain. Without that service, it's not like people will just be walking to the terminals. It's a necessary service. Again you leave out the easy solution of just dropping the fare for subway riders. Instead you'd rather deny parking lot access to the station. That's ridiculous. You could also say that instead, they could charge $5 for all the people coming from that parking lot for the one of two PAID branches of AirTrain. We could be arguing a semantics argument about how it's "immoral (or wrong) to be charging people from one parking lot and not the others. No where else does that happen"..... Very easily THAT could be the senario for that PAID branch of airtrain. They chose to waive the fee for the parking lot people as it would cause a greater semantics problem than the one that currently exists. |
