Posted by Terrapin Station on Tue Mar 4 13:40:13 2008, in response to Re: Diagrams Re: Air Train question, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Mar 4 11:06:04 2008. No, there wasn't.The $2 shuttle bus was not operated by the PA. It was operated by a third party to get the third party's passengers to the airport terminals. It was all part of TTTTP service. It had NOTHING to do with the PA circulating people on the airport it controls. Thus, it is irrelevant. The parallel to today's airtrain is the free shuttle bus the PA ran from the subway station to the terminals. The purpose of this was to circulate people within the airport. People arrive at the airport property via NYCT, then they are circulated to the terminal buildings by the PA. There is no precedent for the airport controlling authority to charge money to circulate people within the airport grounds. None. The Q10 was allowed to circle the airport for free, as well as other buses (just like today - at least connecting to the free circulator) IIRC the Q10 is no longer allowed to stop at all the terminals. It can only stop at some of the non-terminal airtrain stations and JFK terminal 4. That makes the bus service more inconvenient than it used to be. |
