	AIrTrain JFK
		A typical run on an Airtrain would be from either Howard Beach or Jamaica, loop around JFK once, stopping at all stations in a counter-clockwise direction on the outer loop with Terminal 1 being the first stop and Terminals 8-9 being the last.
		Departing Jamaica station, we go over the double cross-over and make a soft left turn to what is easily the fastest portion of the Airtrain route.
		This station also houses Long Term Parking Lot A. There are 2 different sets of turnstiles, one for the subway, the other for the Airtrain, taking a short walk down the passageway; we now board the Airtrain for a quick 5 minute ride towards Federal Circle.

		The Port Authority is currently seeking to construct a light rail system that would connect the LIRR station in Jamaica with Kennedy Airport terminals and the A train in Howard Beach.
