- The AirTrain link to LaGuardia Airport was canceled following a Port Authority review.
- A three-member panel recommended enhancing bus service, focusing on the existing Q70 route and new shuttle buses.
- Expanding subway lines N and W to the airport is supported as a long-term solution but faces major financial and construction challenges.
- Near-term improvements aim to increase airport access without costly subway tunnels or elevated tracks.
The backward boondoggle AirTrain belongs just where it landed, on the scrap heap of history.— Danny Pearlstein, spokesman for Riders Alliance, said in a statement.
