Ricechek: As frustrating as the airport parking lots are... so too are the commuter railroad stations like Penn Station and Grande Central Terminal in NYC. Every holiday 3 million people rush for the train when the boarding call is made (it's like the boarding procedure at Southwest!) I always end up waiting for the next train, which is practically empty.
But the airports parking lots should do what
some of the railroads do on holidays: wave the fee. Sometimes on the NYC commuter railroads (NOT THE SUBWAYS and BUSES) there will be so many people that the ticket takers give up and let us ride free.
Generally it's on the ride at night. I guess
on turkey day the ticket takers got a chance for Turkey and are somewhere on the train sleeping it off. CATMAN
