The city needs, one seat rides to its airports. I would wait until this Musk thing pans out to see if there is potential with it for NYC. If it works at O'hare, it could work at JFK and LaGuardia. That's probably the only hope left for NY. There is no way that a one-seat-ride train is going to happen with conventional rail, there is just nowhere to put it and a regular tunnel would cost far too much for the likes of NYC, a city where transit funding does not flow like cheap wine. Nothing has happened with that Roackaway Branch line project in years and it looks like its nowhere near to happening.
The JFK airtrain to LIRR is not used enough, and most people still take cars jamming up the highways and bridges/tunnels. Why repeat these solutions when they are not good enough? Why repeat the same half assed mistakes of the past?
