No, it isn't ROBBING, it's discouraging transit use by making AirTrain free for drivers but $5 for subway riders.It doesn't appear to be working that well then if that is what they are trying to do, discourage transit. Is $5 a little high? Perhaps, but I see every reason why it's $5 to balance out with Jamaica. And $5 is certainly not enough to discourage people from using the convenient connection, especially considering alternatives (even driving and parking is way more than that, with the cost of gas and parking fees), and it's certainly cheaper by A LOT than private airport shuttle or car services too. it's only competition is the buses like the Q10, and that is not very attractive, and even if it was, it's still transit. And the availavle stats figures seem to back that up pretty nicely that it is hardly a hinderance. |
