Maybe it's not a bus, but it definitely ain't a train either. It's about as fast as, and the same capacity as, a standard MTA articulated bus. I think the proper term is people mover. I might suggest "amusement park ride" as an accurate description as well. Either way it fucking sucks. Go to continental Europe some time if you want to see examples of how to run local transit into airports.

It's literally a train. It runs on a track. Big deal if it doesn't run as fast as you'd like. That doesn't make it not a train. Also, MTA buses run at a normal vehicle speed. So I don't even know what you're complaining about. You really need to get to your terminal, what, 5 minutes faster? You need a bullet train between terminals or something? Yes I know what trains in Europe are like. You're changing the subject. Your point seemed to be that NYC airports aren't connected to convenient public train transportation, but the fact is that 2 out of 3 of them are. Even if it's not technically the MTA subway itself that is the train that brings you directly to your terminal. Still, quite literally, 100%, a train.
