The parking lot is accessible for free from the AirTrain station at Howard Beach.No, you're wrong. From the subway station at Howard Beach, you CAN NOT get to the JFK parking lot. You could take airtrain to Lefferts Blvd. But you'd have to pay $5 to enter Airtrain. You'd have to talk to the TSA people at the station about getting past the Airtrain turnstiles for free. And as I've said, there is no way to get to the parking area from the subway. You pay $5 ONLY if you walk through the fare control passage that leads to the Howard Beach - JFK Airport subway station. In that case, you pay $7.25, including your subway fare. There is NO CHARGE to leave the AirTrain station via ground level to the long-term parking lot. You would pay $5 and $2.25 (total $7.25) if you were to go directly from Airtrain to the subway. Seeing that you say you're a TA employee, You'd still have to pay $5 to enter or leave Airtrain then use your EPIC pass to enter the TA turnstiles for the subway. In other words, you'd have to go thru 2 sets of turnstiles. I'm sure you knew that already. Wait a minute, I just had an interesting thought. I, as an NYCT employee, under no circumstances am charged money to access our bus and subway network. I ride for free. The subway would be free if you have your EPIC pass. But you'd still have to pay $5 for Airtrain. You'd have to talk to the TSA people about skipping the $5 fare. The TA agent can't help you on that. Tell me then, if I were to ride the AirTrain to Howard Beach, how I can get into the subway for free while only playing the $5 AirTrain fare? You got that much right. You'd have to pay the $5 to get out thru the Airtrain turnstile. Then use your EPIC pass to enter thru the TA turnstile to get on the subway. You'd have to go thru 2 turnstiles. |
