Right, so they chose to put the parking lot station on their PAID branch to HB.No, they chose to run the free branch to the parking lot to the howard beach station of the A. Some sort of service is needed to get people from that transit station to the terminals Says who!?!? 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. It's not necessary. The rail line was there first, AFAIK. The airport came later. The airport does not have to provide service there. It just so happens that for many years the airport provided a free shuttle bus from the edge of the parking lot to the terminals. Then they went and started charging a fare. There was no need for that. 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. No i couldn't! Because no airport charges people to ride from ON THE PROPERTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 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. I doubt that. |
