All three airports in the metro area are absolute vomit. Just got back from London and it was a breeze using the Heathrow Express. Arrived in JFK and all I have is one back pack and a small roller. Took the POS AirTrain monorail to Jamaica then transfer to LIRR. Jamaica looks like a sh-thole and this was upgraded in 2017!
Neither of the three airports you can take the subway, LIRR, or NJ Transit to the airport. Newark might be the closest one that has a direct rail but like JFK you have to pay additional fee to use the AirTrain monorail.
Meanwhile I see scumbags in this city masturbating over some new bar or going "ohhh ahhh" over some new terminals.
If we want to be world class city, we need to make our airports FUNCTIONAL, not adding another liqueur shop. Last month in Chicago I took the blue line from the airport to the city and it was easy. Now they are gonna add Metra(their version of LIRR, Metro-North, NJ Transit) to the airport. Just embarrassing how this city turns out.
Cuomo's LGA plan was pathetic and he should have been stomped and kicked for that stupid plan.
If anyone disagrees on one seat direct rail rides to our airports or is a third world cab driver that thinks your precious rides will be "stolen", go f yourself and back to your country.
Your finesse with language is truly something. But since I don't use that language, we'll just leave it at that. ""Profanity is the effort of a feeble brain to express itself forcibly.""
Anyone who travels internationally knows that our public transit pales compared to major cities. The Heathrow Express is more expensive than other lines but at least there are alternatives that take you straight into Central London. The trains on the new Elizabeth lines put NYC subways to shame.
If you want to live in the suburbs...tough luck pal!
JFK/LGA are in THE CITY.
WE do not have to accommodate suburbanites.
Live in NYC to get the benefits of it.
LIRR three main terminals Penn Station, Grand Central, and Jamaica are in NYC retardo. So you have no idea what you are talking about.
