If you get on at Howard Beach and get off at Jamaica, do you pay $5 or $10? --SPUI (talk) 03:20, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

My guess (from the other side of the country) is $10, $5 every time you go thru an AirTrain faregate. Yes they could have an out-of-(subway)-system transfer, but would people use it? ...After checking your fine rail map, my guess is maybe.--67.160.146.193 04:44, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Oh, and is AirTrain handicapped accessible? I'd assume it is, given that it was built recently, but I could find nothing at all online about it. --SPUI (talk) 10:58, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

It's $5. Pay-Per-Ride, and Airtrain combo cards only. Pacific Coast Highway 22:02, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC) (6:04 PM EST)

[edit] Page move

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request:

[edit] AirTrain (JFK) → AirTrain JFK and AirTrain (Newark) → AirTrain Newark

These are the official names for the lines. --SPUI (talk) 01:30, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Go ahead. Who's protesting this? jdb ❋ 01:41, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The man is putting me down with page history and "this page cannot be moved". In theory this page should only be for these cases. --SPUI (talk) 09:18, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How-to Guide

It seems some of this information falls more along the lines of advice and transient information. I want to move portions to Wikitravel but I don't know if there is a standard that should be applied. Consider this as an announcement, but if there is any sort of discussion I will defer. Davilla

It turns out content can't be moved to Wikitravel due to licensing. I'd still wonder if some bits of information here meet merits for inclusion. See Wikitravel:New York (city). Davilla 08:02, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion to LGA

Are there any plans to extend the AirTrain from Jamica/LIRR to LaGuardia with a stop at Flushing Meadows Park for the Tennis Center and baseball stadium? Nyrmetros 19:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

An extension to Laguardia has been discussed in the past, but i am not aware of any current plans. The JFK

Airtrain was paid for by federal airport funds that can only be used for airport related purposes, so an intermediate stop for the stadium and tennis center might be a problem.--agr 20:23, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trainset

I would like to know which is the train Model used for the Airtrain!Is it the Metropolis or? and if you know please add it to the article, i think is important!:)EdwinCasadoBaez (talk) 01:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

It's pretty far down, but the article does mention that Airtrain JFK is a Bombardier Advanced Rapid Transit system. The trainsets in use at JFK are called Mark II by Bombardier. --Jfruh (talk) 02:13, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
