Ferry system already has routes and boats so this can be integrated into the existing system for a limited cost.  There was no reason to build a costly Air Train in the wrong direction which would NOT benefit the vast majority of travelers.  The JFK Airtrain was an excellent project that was needed and one I have even used before as station is in the right location and benefits a much wider area.  Not every airport is meant to be connected by rail or subway as bus and ferry are the options that make sense here.  Most people using La Guardia are going to be using cars. The rest can come from bus and ferry and this is all it needs.  There will be mass transit links to bus lines, subway and ferry and rail lines, just not all of them at the airport itself.  Use tax savings for cancelling this plan and give it back to taxpayers.[URL unfurl="true"]https://images.ferry.nyc/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/20131449/system_map_8-23_-.png?_ga=2.156455803.1373047920.1634422685-2128666843.1634422685[/URL]East 90th street and/or East 34th street seem to be fine for connections to NYC Ferry to a new La Guardia airport ferry stop.</blockquote>
