  • Its route bullet was colored turquoise and contained an aircraft symbol. (If you want, you can specify that this is an AIGA symbol.)

Fares and rolling stock

edit
  • The premium fare for the JFK Express was collected by train conductors on board I think the fare information in the history section should be moved here.

  Done

  Done

  • A fourth car was later added, making them 300 feet (91 m) long, half the length of a typical B Division train.

Service history

edit

1st p

edit
  • There is a previous instance of 57th Street, which should be the one wikilinked

  Done

2nd p

edit
  • Within a few years of its inauguration, the service was being criticized as being a poor use of resources.

  Done--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:24, 7 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • At all(?) other times, some passengers paid the extra fare to use the JFK Express to reach Aqueduct Racetrack. -- Could you elaborate on this one a little further? Why only "some" passengers paid?

5th p

edit
  • At the time, 3,200 people were using the train per day, down from a high of between 4,000 and 5,000 riders that used it at the beginning of the service's operation.

  Done

6th p

edit
  • However, This extension was short-lived as the JFK Express was discontinued on April 15, 1990 due to low ridership, which recorded as few as 3,200 riders per day.

  Done

  • Ridership on the A to the airport increased after the discontinuation of the JFK Express: in 1995, about 1 million passengers used the A to the Airport. -- semi-colon instead of colon

  Done

7th p

edit
  • Since the discontinuation of the JFK Express, the A train has continued to serve the Howard Beach–JFK Airport station.

  Done

  • move ref 27 at the end of the next comma

  Done
