Shaggar posted:large cities are massively hosed up places. altho small cities like to get in on the stupidity too. ex: Portland recently created the position of mayor for no reason other than to have someone w/ that title that costs money. also they just added a 5c bag tax which is huge bullshit. Also they vote against fluoride in the water system. and they have a lovely soccer team

hobbesmaster posted:idk they're great for getting to the airport without a car Jonny 290 posted:hahaha wait there's no rail to the airports there? laguardia ain't never getting a rail connection because its in a horrible location and frankly shouldn't still be open. newark and jfk have rail connections out to commuter lines and in the case of jfk directly to 3 different subway lines don't know what notorious bsd is ranting about with them taking "too long" you can be in midtown from newark airport in about 35 minutes (normally driving during the day would take like 31 minutes so big whoop) and from jfk to midtown in 42 minutes which would be like a 50 minute drive most of the day. shickingly enough you can't go like 16+ miles though a heavily populated city and surrounds all that fast. Munkeymon posted:they're the reason you can't take a train direct from Penn to GCT tho right? uh that's because there's no fuckin tunnel there, chief, and to build one you'd have to tunnel under and over like 3 or 4 subway lines

Munkeymon posted:they're the reason you can't take a train direct from Penn to GCT tho right? i doubt it it's a 4 minute trip from penn to gct, with a transfer in the middle. who would want to spend the money to build a rail link to make a 4 minute trip shorter?

Beast of Bourbon posted:the taxi unions are super strong in NYC and have blocked any trains to the airports. well there's one that has like a super slow skytrain kind of thing. it used to piss me off so much flying from nola to laguardia and back b/c both places require a taxi and goddamnit that's so dumb at least in nyc you can get p cheap car services or just fly into newark and take the rail in/out

also jfk is easy as hell to get to and from to, your choices are limited by budget and time still sucks that the airtrain is loving $5 on top though instead of free like it used to be with a transfer

Nintendo Kid posted:newark and jfk have rail connections out to commuter lines and in the case of jfk directly to 3 different subway lines you have an interesting definition of "directly" also the average time from midtown to jfk is 40 minutes. the actual amount of time could be 30-80 minutes, which isn't great for catching flights.

Munkeymon posted:huh - I thought it was way longer last time I checked yeah they're like 3 blocks across and 8 blocks down from each other. not having connecting service only used to be a problem because some amtrak long distance trains terminated at GCT while others stopped at penn, but they made direct access to penn so now no amtrak trains need to stop at GCT and the problem's solved.

Nintendo Kid posted:so like you live on long island or something? no poo poo you don't get good service to jfk. i live in the five boroughs the commuter rail connection is just faster for most people than getting off at howard beach. i deliberately chose the fastest option as my comparison. rail is just a slow way to get in/out of jfk.
