No, because the convenience of the AirTrain over the Q10 is significant, the convenience of the Battery Tunnel over the Brooklyn Bridge is less so. Either way you're driving your car, one may be slightly longer or simply slower with traffic.If you want to compare the Q10 with the AirTrain, a more apt comparison is going from Connecticut to Long Island through Manhattan to avoid paying for the Throgs Neck Bridge. And walking from North Conduit or Howard Beach to Lefferts Blvd to avoid paying $5 for AirTrain is like using the Bear Mountain Bridge to go from Fort Lee to Manhattan to save $5 on crossing the Hudson River. I don't think anyone in their right mind would do either of those things. The difference is that bridging the Hudson River at Fort Lee-Washington Heights is a feat of engineering that's worth $6 (less with E-ZPass). A walkway connecting HB subway-AirTrain isn't. This is even more of a scam than the Atlantic Beach Bridge. |
