The fee is waived for parking lot people,Why? but kiss and ride people luck out. Why? Since there is no PEDESTRIAN TOLL to enter the airport, Yes there is - it applies to NYCT (A) transferees only. No instead of the "slip system" the MTA used as a way to avoid fare evasion for the shuttle bus they used to operate, the PA however decided not to0 require slips from the parking lot people, so they closed the fence to avoid people trying to evade the airtrain fare. No, what the MTA did has nothing to do with what the PA is doing. The MTA was a third party providing a service. The PA is the airport operator charging to access airport property (or to ride on airport property, according to you). No, they are charged a fee to use the airtrain from Howard Beach subway station, which is much more convenient than taking the Q10. Smart people that value their time will use that option. However, some people who may not want to use the $5 AirTrain are free to use the other A train for access to Lefferts with a free transfer. If they do that, more power too them. Most people are coming from somewhere before the A train splits, so most people have achoice of which A train they use (or if they want to use the E train when still in manhattan). Many choices out there. Something for everyone. All NYCT people who chose to use AirTrain, whether it be through the A or the E, pay for A train. Those who chose the less convenient Q10 don't have to pay that. No, the PA is (according to you) charging NYCT transferees for riding airtrain from HB to Lefferts, since if you transfer from NYCT at Lefferts, you can ride AirTrain for free. |
