Posted by RIPTA42HopeTunnel on Thu Mar 6 16:59:03 2008, in response to Re: Diagrams Re: Air Train question, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Thu Mar 6 15:32:42 2008. The stats appears to break up the stats between HB and Jamaica.I was referring to his citation that transit ridership to the airport has "tripled." Certainly not on at Howard Beach. But don't forget that initially, some or many of the HB will have shifted to jamaica once there was another choice available which wasn't there prior when HB was the only subway access. Inconsequential. AirTrain to Jamaica is a premium service, and it has a service area that the A train did not previously encompass (LIRR). It's also likely that a lot of those riders who switched to the Jamaica branch wouldn't have if they weren't hit with the same $5 for going to Howard Beach. Logical argument #2 for the pedestrian toll - it helps to artificially inflate the ridership numbers for the Jamaica branch to justify the expense! |
