The management obviously saw the same thing, hence the new bus service. I, too have seen the Access a Ride vans out front but as a semi-regular patron many people, myself included, have become bored with the limited gaming options at Aqueduct. With the ever dwindling racing crowd maybe the track itself will be shuttered one day and an expanded casino operation will be built. As Orion rightly points out, how many tourists or residents of upper Manhattan or the Bronx want to shlep on a subway to the Big A ? With the buses you have the chance to pick up the tourist crowd although I believe the upper Manhattan/ Bronx crowd would be better served by heading to Empire-Yonkers. Those who wish to visit the casino can use those buses to come and go like those who frequent AC or Foxwoods and the bus company and casino can cross-promote at will. This idea makes 100x more sense than screwing up regular train service for the regular commuter. At least, that's what I heard from people in the subway section of this forum in the thread about Aqueduct Racetrack. A free shuttle bus from 8 am 2 am will take guests from the A-Train exit to the Casino. It's gonna be limited free because not many people want this bus service or visit the casino.
