Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon Mar 3 15:01:26 2008, in response to Re: Air Train question, posted by Terrapin Station on Mon Mar 3 14:49:05 2008. Why? [parking lot]Because they paid for parking just like any other lot in the airport. Why? [kiss and ride and Q10] I don't see how they can stop it. Perhaps that is something they should look at. But I can only see if they issued a parking pass for people who parked, which would allow access for anyone in the car. Then Q10 and Kiss and ride would have to pay. I don't know if their revenue loss from the Q10 or the Kiss and ride people is so great that going through that expense would outweigh the few that luck out. I would think instituting that sort of a system would cost more than the revenues they would collect from it. Perhaps it should be looked into though. Yes there is - it applies to NYCT (A) transferees only. No, only some A people that chose to go that way. A NYCT people have a choice to also go to Lefferts on a train that runs alternately with the Howard Beach trains. 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). The PA doesn't have to provide service for NYCT's passengers. They provided the bus as a coutesy when the MTA decided to drop those people. The MTA also owns or owned a ROW into the Airport. They chose to not use that asset and instead the PA had to build the access. They call that the Howard Beach Airtrain, and they rightfully charge for it's use. There is no reason they have to provide a parrallel bus next to the Airtrain. That would be redundant, ,especially since cheaper alternatives are out there for those same A passengers via Lefferts. 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. Right, see second point above. That was addressed. |
