Gotham Bus Co. Posted November 18, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 18, 2018 They do that (under Cuomo's orders) for major holidays, even though it undermines the argument for an AirTrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italianstallion Posted November 18, 2018 Share #3 Posted November 18, 2018 It should be free at all times. I'd guess that 95% of riders transfer to the subway anyway, so they'd pay the fare there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they tripled Q70 service all day, it would still be cheaper than designing, building, and operating the AirTrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Bloomberg had that plan to make the crosstowns free for the same reason, but the MTA's bean counters balked at the (mostly paper) loss.

Doing so would’ve generated more money for the than they do with the route now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
