https://www.flyblade.com/bounce/ and a couple of other firms can take you to the airport for pocket change if you are a billionare. Which gives me a Idea- NYC Subways could have a Private Subway car with full bar and comfy chairs that you could rent for 1,500.00 to take you from Penn Station or Grand Central or the station of your choice directly to the airport. Also Indy IN had a Heliport with the same futurist idea but it ended up being used by EMS only.

Cute ... but you're forgetting or don't know some elementary stuff about NYC subways. Dave Klepper, I hope, will take this issue up in specific detail, but for now...
1) how do you arrange to get the private car, stocked and ready, to the boarding point;
2) what happens to the train, and all the traffic behind it, if the 'boarding billionaire' and his or her posse is late ... or no show ... or cancels with 5 minutes' notice as happens so often with the nouveaux riches who would patronize this thing;
3) how do you propose to leapfrog all the other trains in front of the 'special' in order to get it to the 'nearest point of approach to the airport' faster than a normal subway service;
4) what do you do with the car for the return trip? Lottery? Happy upgrade for random passengers? Standby Web site?
OK guys -- suggest more about this for CandO so he can 'progress' a little better.
Perhaps you can call it...the train to the plane!(Yes, yes, I know not really the same idea, but still).
