NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

As shown in Table 2.1, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Chicago are just a few of the cities that already provide one-seat rides from central business districts to international airports. Such serv­ ices are often paired with direct commuter rail. Both London and Hong Kong already have facilities for baggage check-in at the central city'.

In contrast to our global counterparts, current access to the airports from Lower Manhattan is inconvenient, time-consuming, unreliable, and often expensive. Travel to the JFK terminals from Lower Manhattan by public transportation currently requires 70 to 80 minutes and at least one change in mode of transportation.'* When the AirTrain JFK begins service, travel rime via mass transit will still average 61 to 65 minutes. On the other hand, a trip to the airport by automobile, taxi, or bus is unpredictable and can take well over an hour, being subject to some of the most crowded traffic conditions in the New York metropolitan region.

Within the mass transit system, air traveler amenities are poor. Most downtown subway stations contain no escalators or elevators, and turnstiles and stairs are difficult for passengers with lug­ gage to negotiate. Subways and buses are crowded throughout the day and also do not provide luggage storage. For these and a number of other reasons, only 5.5%’ of Lower Manhattan air passengers travel to the airport by mass transit. By comparison, 41% of passengers traveling to London's Heathrow Airport and 59% of passengers traveling to Hong Kong International Airport make their trip via mass transit. A major goal for Lower Manhattan should be to signif­ icantly increase the number of air travelers traveling to the airports by mass transit. The most logical way to accomplish this goal is to adopt a system that provides convenience while at the same time allows the most number of people to access the airports.
