There's no reason is has to be a paid branch by default.

No, that is true.

In fact, it's a free branch by default.

No, that is false. It's neither a pay or non-pay by default. It's whatever it's decided it is. It's an OPINION to say that either of those are more factual than the other.

You just pay a ped toll to get onto the property. That's a fact.

No it's not, it's a fee to use AirTrain.

That's what they want you to think, but it's not true. If it was a fee to use airtrain, then everyone would have to pay it. They don't. The people being carried from the subway or from the west end of the parking lot are receiving the SAME EXACT SERVICE, yet are being charged differently. It's obvious.


Wow. We discussed this earlier. You must have missed it. Please click "view flat" to see this addressed many times above.

It's called precedent. There is none.


A precedent? LOL!!! It's irrelevant what is done elsewhere.

Right. The unanimous decision of every airport in the country in this situation is that the on-property circulator is free, and that no fare is charged from adjacent transit stations.


The Howard Beach branch is not a circulator. It's a PAID branch of the system, in which they waive the fee for the parking lot people. Making the parking lot people pay too would be a worse semantics problem (considering the other parking lots on in the airport) than what is there now with the semantics of the HB station set up.

JFK is going against the unanimous decision.

Oh they took a vote on it? And what they do elsewhere is irrelevant. Many systems don't even have a system like airtrain. If the A train ended at Federal circle I would say otherwise.
