Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Mar 9 11:13:06 2008, in response to Re: Diagrams Re: Air Train question, posted by RIPTA42HopeTunnel on Sun Mar 9 09:58:24 2008. Again, there's a flaw in your logic. The number of AirTrain users relative to airline passengers (not flights, since we can't tell the difference between an empty plane and a full one) before AirTrain was consistently betwee 3.5% and 6.5% per month. Since AirTrain opened, it has had trouble breaking 4%. Annually, the percent of airline passengers using Howard Beach hasn't been so low since 1990, when The Train to the Plane was a premium fare:Your statistics are wrong. Jamaica TOOK AWAY a portion of Howard Beach's ridership. In addition, and more importantly, It also makes the "pie" bigger by taking a percentage of people out of the "total pie". OF COURSE that will show a decrease. If you have only 4 slices. Each "slice" takes up 25% of "the pie" (even for arguments sake). If you make it 5 slices, automatically everything already decreases to 20% of the pie. Jamaica did that already just by being added. And then it also took away some of the pie in addition. |
