No, at Newark they built the line out to Lots P1, P2, and P3 which are not directly adjacent to the terminal and have no transit station near them. Also, JFK needed a place for a large yard. That place was out near the long term lot. So it looks like the branch to the long term lot would have been built even without the A at HB.You can take it the other way too. The lots it went to are the rental car lots, that's pretty important. Their Long term parking lot is still served by by buses, as it looks like they would have had to have a seperate line if they wanted to serve the long term lot, either that, or make a larger loop. That is a lot how JFK is, the HB line is not on the circulator loop itself, but a seperate branch. At Newark they decided it wasn't worth it to put a seperate branch on to serve the Long term lot. At JFK, that extra branch would also serve a subway station, so it made sense to build it. They may not have done that if not for the HB station, the same could have been done with shuttle buses to the Long term lot. You don't have to pay from that station. That's the point. You asked for an example to show that JFK AirTrain isn't unique in that a pay branch goes through a free parking lot station. I was asking for an example where they would charge the PARKING LOT people on a paid branch. That's why I was so confused when you poated this, as it didn't make sense, as I could find where they were charging those parking lot people. Now I find out they aren't charging the parking lot people at all. That's not what I asked for a example of. |
