I'm not particularly concerned with any one person's interpretation of the "fairness" of the situation. Fairness is determined by the market -- not by an individual.The PA built the AirTrain. They build the connection to the A train at Howard Beach. They can charge whatever they want for people to use it. The people have other choices to access the airport for free, if they so choose. At the end of the day, if people find this charge to be unfair and choose not to utilize this entrance, the PA will not make their revenue targets for this segment. They will have to decide whether or not to adjust or even drop the access charge. Interestingly, I rode AirTrain from Jamaica on Sunday. I noticed that there is now a "10-trip AirTrain Metrocard" that is valid for 180 days and costs $25. I don't think that has been mentioned anywhere in these discussions -- at least I don't recall seeing it. |
