Is it giant or micro?

It’s all about perspective

They could do a lot for the environment by making AirTrain free so fewer people are inclined to take cabs. 🤷‍♂️

I don't disagree with you but I suspect that isn't the main reason people opt for car travel over the AirTrain.

$11/ person makes a car a lot more attractive for 2-3 people. Where I live, a cab to JFK is roughly $40 give or take. An extra $10 each for the extra convenience and comfort of a cab for 2 people becomes an attractive option.

If you’re traveling with multiple people, like a family, it’s a pretty marginal price difference to take a car because you’re spending $10 per person otherwise.

I know quite a few families who tell me they opt for a car primarily for that reason.

Maybe this is too new but expected some jFk gOIng wOkE responses.

I opt for car because the train is a huge pain in the ass with luggage and it takes 3x as long to get to the airport.

What is this !? A tiny solar grid made for giant ANTS !!!??

For free? Then how is PAPD supposed to go to Dunkin/Starbucks twice an hour?

Honestly, I think it’s more convenience than cost at the current price point. From most areas of the city it really is far faster to take a cab or even an airport shuttle from midtown than navigate the subway with luggage. It’s not an easy transfer if you are carrying multiple checked bags, and if you’re traveling for business, your company is probably paying for the cab anyway.

If there were multiple points in the city where you could essentially get an express option to the air train and there was an easy transfer between - you’d have a lot more people using it.
