Posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Tue Jan 20 17:20:48 2015, in response to Air Train Proposed To Connect (7) Line With LaGuardia Airport; video, posted by gOlD_12tH on Tue Jan 20 11:59:31 2015. Connecting service to the airport using the #7 as a connection would be a big mistake. Using the Astoria line would be better for one simple reason is that B division cars are bigger, hence someone comming in from, say Havana with a luggage cart full of stuff would have more room to maneuver & lesser chance of an ugly confrontation (cart into knees..etc). Besides, the Flushing line is almost running at capacity as it is. The Astoria line could absorb the extra riders w/their luggage much easier. That unused middle track atop 31st street would come in handy.The NIMBYS can be overcome. Regarding the JFK Airtrain, They screamed like hell when the "Van Wyck El" as they called it was going up & last time I checked, its still running |
