JFK Express pageI'd like to know why you undid all the edits on the JFK Express page. While it probably could have been written a little better, all "trivia" is actually fact based on research of NYCTA documents. Therefore it is factual. And since there is a great deal of misunderstanding of how the JFK Express fare system worked, it was a necessary edit. Sincerely, Philip M. Goldstein Bedt14 (talk) 16:45, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
