Awww lighten up Phil. I thought you were a Yankee fan ? I do agree about the trains though. The Speonk train this morning was a quasi-zoo already. And the...
I'm so glad I picked this week to be home with the contractors and plumbers!! I'd rather deal with that then what the trains will be like today. And, given...
Your anger borders on measurable. Fellow tax paying Americans (nearly all of whom subsidize the ride to work that you loathe) are now "spam"? What does...
I don't think the comparison between Croton-Harmon and Jamaica is fair. Jamaica is an 8-track station where many passengers transfer between trains for branch...
I am a Yankee fan, a big one. I must be in the minority because I like workdays to be drunk-free ;-) Imagine the scene if they held it on saturday. That I...
You are just as guilty, Professor. And, Emperor Bloomberg fired a city employee who was a deputy of some kind, not a private employee. I only count the...
Deputies are at-will employees IIRC and serve at the pleasure of the Mayor. The net result is the same - don't get caught playing solitaire if you want to keep...
Complaint Box | Public Grooming By Lion Calandra, November 6, 2009, 10:36 am WHEN did grooming become a spectator sport? When I was growing up, back in the...
...And probably no impact on OTP even though hundreds were late to their destinations. Last night on the port washington branch, there was a medical emergency...
According to the LIRR canceled trains do count towards the OTP. But without independent auditing or any raw data this cannot be verified, we have to take...
As far as the machines being down, perhaps that is logged much like the OTP. If the measure is if the machines are, lets say, up at 8 P.M., they could be out...
Yes, you are right - it is all in how they "number" is computed. There is a big difference between accurately _measuring down-time_ and trying to get the...
Big party, big pain: MTA muffs Manhattan transfer for multitude of Yankee fans Editorials Saturday, November 7th 2009, 4:00 AM The various arms of the...
See what I mean? The city was overrun with non-commuter spam yesterday. This is why the damn thing should have been on a Saturday. It is a beautiful day...
I do agree with Phil that it would have made more sense to hold the parade on a weekend from just a logistics angle - less people in the downtown area to...
There wasn't much, if anything, that was different this time - it's another non-news story. I work downtown and while the subways and streets were crowded, it...
I also agree that the parade would have been better on Saturday. One would have thought that the subway would have been prepared - this not being the first...
Sorry point out the obvious, but don't people have the option of purchasing a Metrocard when purchasing their LIRR ticket? Its been a while since I have...
The problem does indeed have alot to do with LI. Even though its quite rural up there, I think trains get more respect. On LI, car is King and trains and buses...
Always screwing the reverse commuters. It's LIRR's fetish it seems. I bet alot of ppl were trying to squeeze aboard the N20/21 bus to Flushing. And riding LI...
MNR does have construction worker trains and vomit comets, but the passengers are much more behaved. They announce "know you're right" on most trains, not...
yomf, these parades cost a fortune-in police,sanitation,ems and other city agencies. a saturday parade will put them on OT-at a time when the city cant afford...
I don't think the OT would be much different if the parade was held on a Saturday. The "extra" expense is there no matter what. Of course the MTA saved on...
I generally don't appreciate your attitude, but now you're meandering into ignorance. Have you tried to buy a single-ride or $4.50 metrocard from a LIRR or MNR...

The LIRR is not easily understood by occasional riders. Like at Hicksville in the waiting room, the soigns say Penn Track 1 Flatbush Track 2 RonKo Track 3 But...
