Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon Mar 3 14:53:52 2008, in response to Re: Diagrams Re: Air Train question, posted by Terrapin Station on Mon Mar 3 14:43:17 2008. Parking lot people are using the service (just like all the other parking lots) after paying for parking. It's a different price structure. They can't charge the parking lot people for that if they don't charge all the other parking lot people for it. Kiss and ride and Q10 people luck out. Good for them. Perhaps they should begin issuing slips for people who parked issued for for all the people in the car, and put fair control in at Lefferts, but that would be more trouble than it is worth. Then Q10 people would also have to pay if they didn't get those slips. how was the mta bus to the terminals premium over the PA free buses? And it was MTA! Not PA! So there is no comparison! People were charged a $2 if they didn't ride the PREMIUM MTA JFK Express to get to Howard Beach. When the MTA dropped the JFK Express, their shuttle was also dropped. The PA decided to pick up the slack and bus the MTA's customers to the terminals. How could they charge for that when they weren't providing any kind of premium service? Today, there is a premium service (a very convenient and seamless one, much more so than the buses it replaced) there that is airtrain. Cheaper options still exist, and everyone has the right to chose what fits their particular situation. So a ped fee should not be charged at HB. And it isn't. They do charge a fee for AirTrain however. Fare control access makes it necessary to put up a fence. People can walk into the airport (yeah the thousands that must walk to the airport) can access the airport from Lefferts if they so chose. Or they can take a bus. Most had that choice before arriving at Howard Beach station. And you still have told me what this free parallel service is, like the (A) was the free parallel service to TTTTP. Addressed in one of these recent posts. |
