Orion Posted July 20, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 20, 2008 They are free, but if you plan on videos and pictures, be careful sometimes security can be a hassle, if anyone says anything say "I'm a tourist". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted July 20, 2008 Share #3 Posted July 20, 2008 Be extra careful @ LaGuardia, there was some sort of scare inside 2 of the terminals yesterday. Police was on every PANY bus that passed by, I was lucky enough to sneak 2 videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted July 21, 2008 Share #4 Posted July 21, 2008 I will not cite my sources, but if you're innocent you got nothing to worry bout at airports, though you might be questioned or asked to leave an area if they have an elevated alert level. Do not say you're a tourist, just tell them you like to take photos of busses, and offer to show them on your camera's LCD if it has one. Airport security is not as obvious as you'd think, and they usually don't bother the everyday joe/jane. Photography is a grey area at airports these days, and one day no one will bother you, the next day they might "hover" or question you etc. Just do what you went there to do & you'll be fine, just don't lie!! - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that in mind, I have airport shuttle pics (of the PANYNJ buses only). Click the bus below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted July 21, 2008 Share #6 Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah, around too long, you're gonna be in the area longer than you didn't plan to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemoreira81 Posted July 21, 2008 Share #7 Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah, around too long, you're gonna be in the area longer than you didn't plan to. But generally, PANYNJ police are very courteous. I did get questioned very briefly at Newark Liberty...but after being there for a good while shooting LFS buses (since transferred to TOR and Gray Line NY).

BJC Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share #14 Posted July 23, 2008 So what's the point of having theses buses running,since you have the Q-3,B-15 and the Q-10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted July 23, 2008 Share #15 Posted July 23, 2008 So what's the point of having theses buses running,since you have the Q-3,B-15 and the Q-10?They go places where these buses don't run, and they are free so there's a good bunch of people who use these systems. The ride is much nicer than a MTA bus IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the airport buses are just mainly to move airport employees around the airport and people from parking lots to the terminals. Same thing at Newark Airport and LaGuardia Airport.

Same thing at Newark Airport and LaGuardia Airport. And in the case of the B15 and Q10, they are very limited around the airport. JFK has four shuttle routes: Employee Shuttle (2 buses), Long Term Parking (2-4 buses depending on times), Service Road Local (1-2 buses), and Cargo Area Shuttle (1-2 buses). LGA requires likely 3-4 buses max, and Newark Liberty likely requires 8-10 buses max. The remaining are for AirTrain service suspensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
