Probably would be a waste of money and a long delay of opening the terminal to temporarily extend it when they are planning on replacing the entire system

Reply to How much do you tip for Grubhub/Doordash/etc? by redkemper

I door dashed when it started just for some extra tattoo money, and to keep busy when my wife and kid would nap on sundays. I would not take any order that had less than a $5 dollar tip, and even the $5 had to be a smaller order, with short travel distance. I picked up a few that had less, hoping that it would be a cash tip and got burned every single time. It’s been a while, so I’m not sure how things are now, but I would rather sit and wait than take a low pay under $5. I don’t like to order through these services, because they feel like such a rip off. The food cost more, there are service charges, and then tip. If I am ordering out, I will just get it myself. Now, there have been days lately where I don’t feel good enough, or safe enough to drive (cancer treatments), so I will use door dash. I always put some extra on that tip. Drivers will jump on that order, and make sure you get it fast! A good tip makes their day, and they will push just a little harder for that order.

Last week I flew out of terminal C and then arrived into terminal A. Then at 9:00 at night I had to find the shuttle bus to terminal b to get to the AirTran back to P4.

Reply to Are we getting snow this year? by BeaverhausenA

Joking around before the winter, I told my 7 year old that I called ahead and ordered no snow this winter. He now thinks I have a direct connection to Mother Nature, and boy is he mad at me!

The Port Authority spent 2.7 Billion dollars for a new Terminal A, yet did not include an AirTrain connection. It’s either a long walk from the station to the terminal, or a shuttle bus. Real fun with luggage. And unnecessary extra time for your trip.

The red line shows schematically how short of a rail connection it would have been. I think I read that they didn't do a connection now because they are replacing the entire AirTrain system. But that’s no comfort for all the passengers stuck with this situation for several more years. An unbelievably short-sighted design.
