AirTrain will encourge a lot more people to use that connection than before when the bus was there.
People also used to have to pay $2 (in uninflated dollars) to use the bus shuttle that used to be there. That is NO different than today with AirTrain. Doesn't matter who operates AirTrain, doesn't matter who used to operate that bus. Both Airtrain and that $2 bus were the ONLY ways A train people could access the terminals.

The truth is, it's fruitless to continue this. It was fruitless 900 posts ago. I think it's time to agree to disagree on this matter, as continuing this for another 900 posts will get us no where. I am not budging on this. You are not budging on this. We may agree on a lot of things posted on this board, perhaps most, but we are not going to agree on this particular topic.

The controversy is whether or not the PA has the "right" to charge or "should or should not" charge a fare there. The controversy is NOT what the money exchanged is called. Truly, I don't care what you call it.
You can call what the money exchanged is whatever you want. People can agree that it is "called" whatever you want to call it. And some people agree THAT YOU CAN CALL IT A TOLL. However, that does NOT mean people agree that the fee/fare/toll/waste of money/valuable trip money/ - whatever it is, is not justified. There is a service provided there. If you feel it's not justified charging for it, that's fine - that's your opinion.

If we get hard stats, facts, or even some new information that this is some "controversy" from some source other than the opinion of a SubChatter, then perhaps it's worth to revisit this topic. Until then, every AirTrain thread will end just the same as this one has progressed.
