Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon Feb 18 10:23:57 2008, in response to Re: Diagrams Re: Air Train question, posted by Terrapin Station on Mon Feb 18 09:52:19 2008. The concept of a pedestrian toll implies that in it's absense there would be roughly the same amount of people, maybe 10% more, who would get off the A RIGHT AT THE BORDER OF AIRPORT PROPERTY, walk over a free bridge onto airport property, and then ride the FREE airport circulator FOR FREE.Obviously not a big deal if only 10% more people would be using it. And I am going to also assume a nice amount of that 10% are E train transplants. No, it has nothing to do with walking to JFK. It has to do with the PANYNJ wanted to get more revenue from people who don't know any better. OH PLEASE! "Don't know any better". Don't tell me that all those people would be using the Q10 (or some similar bus) to get there if they "knew better". This $5 nonsense has hit a new lunacy. This whole consept is a lunacy. Obviously. But that's a trick. The uneducated are fooled. When you look at what really happens at HB and Lefferts, you see what it really is - an inappropriate pedestrian toll. Airport circulators are always FREE, AFAIK. Why is this one any different??? Oh PLEASE again! It's not a trick, and most "educated" people would not want to use an incovenient bus over paying $5 for a smooth connection. No one is being "fooled". And the AirTrain, once again, is not a "toll", it's a fare, and is not a circulator. They wouldn't have put that station in that inconvenient-to-the-parking-lot location if they were just making a "circulator" for the parking lot. |
