While attending the Linux World trade show in Manhattan, I decided to
check out the new, long-awaited Airtrain at John F. Kennedy
International Airport in Queens. There is good news, bad news, more
good news and more bad news about this project.

Thanks for a very thoiughtful post; I hope you take it a step further and
forward this on to the relevant authorities (of which there are many).

One thing that may help understand the difference in signage at Penn Station
is that New Jersey Transit (which runs trains to Newark's AirTrain) is a
different entity from the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority that runs
LIRR. They may have different priorities or different time lags to deal with
a new service.

Just for the record, I'd like to echo the annoyance of the other posters who
griped about having the subway ride to JFK more than quadruple in price with
the advent of the AirTrain.
