The JFK AirTrain
If you’ve visited New York, you’re probably (and sadly) familiar with the John F. Kennedy Airport. The millionaires among us go straight from the plane to a cab or an Uber. For the plebes — and climate reporter Molly Taft — it’s the subway. Before you can get to the subway, though, you first have to brave the dreaded AirTrain, a train that takes you to another train but which costs more than the second train.
For the privilege, you have a shell out a whopping eight American dollars, which I’d called highway robbery if anyone drove in New York City. In this case, it’s Molly’s one way ticket out of here. This marks Molly’s last week with Earther and Gizmodo after years of groundbreaking investigative reporting.
