Governor Andrew Cuomo announced in January that about $450 million would be dedicated to creating an AirTrain that serviced LaGuardia Airport, which is currently serviced by no public transportation except for a slow-moving bus. A tourism professor and travel-industry consultant, as well as a former flight attendant and current car service driver, traced the proposed route from the Mets-Willets Point station to LGA's terminals, pondering whether it was the best, most efficient option. Their verdict? There are pros and cons, but above all, planners should remember "the trip to the airport is a utilitarian journey." [NYT; previously]
