JFK airport airtrain New York City

[shahoney]

Did you have to transfer to another Airtrain to go towards the Howard Beach Station?

[starkist1480]

I don't know how much they cost, the only time I went to an airplane is when I move here in the US from the Philippines

[LigisdAodSmg]

i live in australia. if i was in ny id never leave

[CripNYC]

Hell yeah, I'm from france and I went to NY. But I had to go back home =(

[funkatraz]

Their first observation of America was the monorail ride. A smooth curve, rental car trucks , then into the death star trenehc3es and tunnels. Back up, over the bridges erected over concrete arteries, fluxed with foreign models of kinetic boxes.

i want to try that, do you get it at jamacca staion. or howard beach.if i am at grand central and going to asia.what terminal and train connection.

[joemadness1]

I've gone to NY 3 times and the last time I went was i think in 04 I remember getting on this. It cost $7 to get on.

*sigh* I miss NY

[wheelingdude12]

[Andymobile]

the same train in Malaysia...States should have something better, weird!

[wheelingdude12]

I never knew that they did that in NYC, I thought that was only in D.C., that's pretty cool

[starkist1480]

They also have it in San Francisco and maybe in Los Angeles

[chappyd11]

Also in Atlanta

[hicat1595]

[x1985robx]

[ojuice33]

Isnt it just a terminal transfer?

[x1985robx]

well estimate dick head

[hew1992]

No need for that

[yuryfury]

No, I it actually leaves the airport but it doesn't go to NYC. 1 of the loops in only terminals while the other goes outside the airport.

I am going to be on that train on April 9th! Punta Cana Here I Come!

[saintfletcher]

Reminds me of the DFW trains in Dallas, only with more people. Sounds much more quiet than Sydney trains. We have the world record for the noisiest trains in the world. They rattle, bang, and usually get there. Double story, they are probably heavy. Luv the tunnels, looks like they are newish and sufficiently NY with artificial rats? Just to keep it real? Just kidding. Blessings +++ The Saint +++

[tneuage]

thanks and you are right

[animalou812]

I was gonna say the same thing. it's not a mono rail

[americonium]

Um, in order for you to have ridden a monorail at JFK airport, they would have had to install one.  You, my friend, were riding an Airtrain, and that has 2 rails. (3 if you count the electric rail.) It works just like a subway train. In fact it can ride on subway tracks

[tneuage]

thanks and you are right

[hardtrucker18]

except it is powered by itself

[americonium]

Actually, it has a 3rd rail that provides electricity. In order for it to be self powered, it would have to have solar panels or an engine on board. If you mean it has no driver, then yes, it is run by a computer in Jamacia, NY.

[TheGordonizer]

@americonium No it cannot ride on the Subway tracks. It uses a linear induction motor.

[VideoLad1234]

@americonium That's right - you see, mono means 1, and rail means rail (Simpsons reference there ;)
