At one time Howard Beach was the ONLY subway connection, people "had" to use Howard Beach. Immediately after AirTrain there was an equal alternative, so right away the Jamaica Branch cannibalized Howard Beaches users. For many, it became more convenient to use Jamaica instead of Howard Beach, so of course ridership dipped. Now apparentlyHB is up to and even surpassed the bus' old ridership stats. So not only are people (thatonce used Howard Beach) now using Jamaica, HB is also carrying as many as it once was before the Jamaica Branch cannibalized some of it's users.That is quite encouraging and quite obvious a LOT more people are now using the subway to the airport because of the Airtrain connections. Howard Beach gets as much or better than it once did, even after loosing some of it's base to Jamaica! |
