 * The premium fare for the JFK Express was collected by train conductors on board I think the fare information in the history section should be moved here.
 * wikilink Transit police
 * A fourth car was later added, making them 300 feet (91 m) long, half the length of a typical B Division train.
 * Might want to bundle/omit sources per WP:OVERKILL

1st p
✅
 * There is a previous instance of 57th Street, which should be the one wikilinked

2nd p
✅ ✅
 * Within a few years of its inauguration, the service was being criticized as being a poor use of resources.
 * JFK Airport, Kennedy Airport, etc. I would use just one alt name and "the airport" so readers aren't confused.

 * omit comma after October 29, 1989
 * ... between these two stations during those times
 * At all(?) other times, some passengers paid the extra fare to use the JFK Express to reach Aqueduct Racetrack. -- Could you elaborate on this one a little further? Why only "some" passengers paid?

5th p
✅
 * At the time, 3,200 people were using the train per day, down from a high of between 4,000 and 5,000 riders that used it at the beginning of the service's operation.

6th p
✅ ✅
 * However, This extension was short-lived as the JFK Express was discontinued on April 15, 1990 due to low ridership, which recorded as few as 3,200 riders per day.
 * WP:OVERKILL
 * Ridership on the A to the airport increased after the discontinuation of the JFK Express: in 1995, about 1 million passengers used the A to the Airport. -- semi-colon instead of colon

7th p
✅ ✅ ✅
 * Since the discontinuation of the JFK Express, the A train has continued to serve the Howard Beach–JFK Airport station.
 * move ref 27 at the end of the next comma
 * A proposal, referred to as the Lower Manhattan–Jamaica/JFK Transportation Project...
