Posted by Stephen Bauman on Tue Jan 20 22:20:24 2015, in response to Re: AirTrain Proposed To Connect (7) Line With LaGuardia Airport ($450 Million, 5 years), posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Jan 20 17:29:42 2015. No one is suggesting extending it from the terminal. It shoud be extended from right before the Astoria Blvd station.Here's the problem. About 4 million people would use a LGA service annually. That's 33% more people than currently use JFK's AirTrain or the train services for O'Hare or Midway. 3.9 million people use Astoria Blv and 5.4 million people use Ditmars Blv. You cannot run more rush hour trains on the Astoria Line because the 60th St Tunnel is maxed out at 30 tph with the R merge. |
