Word in the transportation industry is that the AirTrain Newark monorail will not open as scheduled on 9/30/01. Indeed, the PA's website no longer lists this opening date.

Originally it was to open before 9/30/01, but reliable sources have mentioned that Gordon Bethune did not want the opening of AirTrain Newark to overshadow his planned gala celebrating the opening of his Global Gateway Terminal (Terminal C expansion)!

If true, it is annoying that the public should suffer from not being able to utilize this important transportation link while his ego is stroked.
