 JFK AirTrain set to open December 17th - UrbanPlanet.org
The Port Authority’s AirTrain will finally open on Dec. 17 with great fanfare, despite the death of an operator during last year’s test run, and despite the admission that the $1.9 billion project is at best only a first step toward improving access to the city’s airports.
The AirTrain does not, however, provide the direct, one-seat ride from Kennedy to Manhattan that critics have long contended is the only real way to make a mass transit trip to the airport appealing.
A study sponsored by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) is underway to investigate options for connecting the AirTrain directly to the downtown transit hub, however, and the Port Authority says it would likely play a great role in such a project.
