Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Mar 2 21:52:15 2008, in response to Re: Air Train question, posted by Terrapin Station on Sun Mar 2 21:07:54 2008. No, they chose to run the free branch to the parking lot to the howard beach station of the A.Oh, so you mean they chose to extend the branch to Howard Beach? I just WONDER if they only did that because they could charge a fare? Hmmm. Says who!?!? So you think all those people would walk from the NYCT station? A lot less people would be using it if that was required. Let's see...what's better. NO SERVICE (I am responding to a post that says "Some sort of service is needed to get them to the terminals" and the reply was "Says who") would mean people would have to walk. They used to have an inconvenient bus, but they improved the service with a reliable train with a 10 minute trip to the terminals. Sounds better than walking to me. It's not necessary. The rail line was there first, AFAIK. The airport came later. The airport does not have to provide service there. Oh stop it. Now you are pulling at straws. 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. From what I hear there was a $2 fee at one time from the JFK express. I don't know that as fact (which I had stated the first 3 times I posted it), but I have mentioned it about 6 times now with NO response (ignoring perhaps?) so I am going to assume that is correct. But even so, SO WHAT? They replaced the inconvenient and less reliable bus with AirTrain, which is capabable of moving a lot more people a lot more reliably and efficiently. Many more people would consider a rail connection over a bus connection, especially as seemless in all weather conditions as Airtrain. No i couldn't! Because no airport charges people to ride from ON THE PROPERTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO CARES? We are talking about JFK Airport. Other airports are irrelevant. Many airports don't even have a system such as Airtrain. I doubt that. Oh really? Then it just "must" not be true, because YOU doubt that. |
