@starsandrobots this sort of exists! the LIRR stops like 3x before penn station. -
@zmagg somehow I have yet to arrive at JFK early enough for LIRR to be operating. Whatever the sol'n is, should be 24h. -
@starsandrobots it is 24 hours already...comes like every 20 minutes or so, except between 2am->4am in which it comes every hour. -
@zmagg yeah. It's just never satisfied when you land at 12:21 AM and are staring down a maybe extra half hour, for an hour train ride.

@starsandrobots We're quite charmed with the linear-induction-motor drive on the existing airport trains there! -
