Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Mar 4 21:24:57 2008, in response to Re: Diagrams Re: Air Train question, posted by Terrapin Station on Tue Mar 4 20:17:08 2008. There was already an exit right into the parking lot. They went out of their way to close it.Right, to avoid having fare edvaders. It wasn't necessary when the $2 shuttle bus was there, as back then, there was no AirTrain, and people had to go into the lot to use the $2 shuttle bus. To avoid Fare Evaders back then, the JFK Express people got a JFK Express slip to solve the problem of fare evaders. Today, they would have to somehow provide a swipable card to all the parking lot people and their passengers if they were to leave the gate open. The cost of such a fare collection system would probably be greater than the revenue they lose from the Kiss and ride people, so they of course don't do that, and just close the gate at Howard Beach. Not well known choices. When many people get off the (A) and need to buy AirTrain fare at HB, that's a possible sign that they didn't know there'd be a fare. And once they're there, they don't really have much choice but to pay it. Total heresay. There is no evidence that people would rather take the free Q10 instead of the more convenient Airtrain at Howard Beach. There is also no evidence that a significant amount of people expect a ride to be free. |
