No, there is no "toll" to enter Airport property.Yes there is. People boarding at the HB station from anywhere but the subway do so for free. And the fence is closed to avoid people trying to evade that fee. No, the fence was closed so that they could charge the fee. Anyone not wanting to use the more convenient AirTrain from Howard Beach are completely free to enter that gate in the airport if they so choose via the Q10 (or some other buse lines). And one or more of those buses take you to the Lefferts stop of the AirTrain. Therefor the people from the A at H B are being charged a $5 fare (in your words) just to ride from HB to Lefferts, where other NYCT transferees board for free. The Train to the Plane Extra fare was just, just like charging non train to the plane people $2 for the bus shuttle. Very Just. They are unrelated to the current issue, which is the PA charging for access to its own property, something no other airport does in the country that I am aware of. And only some peoiple get charged. Very few in fact, with respect to everyone entering the property. As for Howard Beach. There is a PARALLEL FREE SERVICE from the A's Lefferts terminal via the free tansfer Q10. Same 1/2 A train service, different terminal for each half. Equal access for anyone using the A line, depending on which service they choose. NO ONE of any consequense is WALKING to Howard Beach. Just about all of them are coming in via the subway. The same subway (via a different A Train) goes to Lefferts. No. The (A) parallel TTTTP all the way to HB. I want to know what free service parallels AirTrain from the HB subway station to the Lefferts airtrain station. There is none. You have to take a non-parallel service to make that trip for free. |
