So, you basically want a very expensive express train to aid you in doing LGA-JFK/JFK-LGA transfers? It's not like real estate and construction's particularly cheap in NYC, is it, so you're probably talking a lot of money... and if it's an express train, it's not going to be able to serve the other regions, so limited ridership and use.

It would probably be cheaper just to run a taxpayer-funded daily helicopter service provided free to intra-airport transfers... and probably less of a white elephant waste of taxpayer money.

OTOH, actually having LGA hooked up into the NYC mass transit system (into places like Manhattan)... that would be nice.
