Yeah she’s just talking out her ass. Loads of alternatives were considered but they would have been triple the cost and would have involved demolishing stuff in dense neighborhoods.
Tbh I’m glad it makes her mad

Her objection was more that it was a shitty compromised project that was still slower than driving, and if you’re going to try to build some multi billion dollar decades long project why settle for something that’s slower than driving?

It's a shitty design that makes getting into the core of the city take way longer than it should.

They added like 50% more taxiway, the lack of which was by far the biggest operational issue for LGA.

Because then you dont have to spend 25 funbux per day to park at LGA or pay 75 funbux for a cab.

It's not any faster than the 2.75 express bus that runs from the train stop in queens. If you're really broke just take that.

AOC didn’t seem to understand the alternatives. The alternative she wanted would have permanently disrupted Amtrak and 7-train service and cost 3x more. I’m happy with the current route.

>New York deserves a reliable, efficient, and affordable transit connector
New York deserves to burn. Some asshole noticed LaGarbage wasn't eating millions and millions of dollars and construction wasn't disrupting anything and promptly fixed it with a train that goes further out of the city. Thanks, Cuomo.

>a new terminal
Lol, they just built a big shiny front-facing facade with a fucking gift shop. The actual gate area is the same.
