Yes there will always be waste and lets ssay by some miracle we could $150M in waste in the budget. Where does the other $300M for this years defeict come...
Waste is bad for any business but the amounts of money wasted by the MTA would drive any normal business bankrupt in no time. You say that "there will always...
This morning the 7:22 out of Farmingdale was extremely late, something like 10 minutes. Of course, there were no station announcements. There USED TO BE...
Speaking of announcements. They installed new electronic announcement displays at the Hicksville station a number of months ago. They are not working and...
Well I was talking post-tax ~$500. This is after 2 pay cuts (totaling 15%) and the end of travel reimbursement (approx. 3.5K pre-tax) that I all had at this...
I suppose it all depends on what you're looking to get out of it. I don't think anyone expects that a large presence at the hearings alone will make the key...
I agree with Jean. The MTA, and the politicians are counting on our apathy, which I can understand given our response in the past. As I stated before, just...
... no worries, I have a feeling its gonna be a fun (read: painful) winter. ... LIRRCommuters@yahoogroups.com<mailto:LIRRCommuters@yahoogroups.com> ... ...
just came off the 459 from jamaica...and once again...the stairs at the north end of the station leading to broadway are OPEN- with the same EXACT beat up worn...
i was the one who mentioned olive garden but i understand how u feel..i worked retail in the late 1980;s -early 1990's and hated every moment of it....
That was better than what I had at Ronkonkoma this morning, the automated announcements were stating that the train was on-time, and then a guy gets on the...
The railroading business is not a normal business and just about all private railroads have in fact gone bankrupt. That is why most are run by government. And...
Its not the MTA thats counting on our apathy its the politician. The MTA would rather get the money from the state than raise rates and tolls. But again they...
Again, that's beside the point. My point is that simply attending the meeting will raise one's awareness of the issues at hand. Its not meant to be the great...
finished reading the gravy train last nite...the things he described made me incredulous....but that is what is still going on today,according to my ex lirr...
Aie, ok, this sounds worse. And here's why. One day after I moved into my new place my car died. (This is before I needed the LIRR) I had to take a bus to...
Speaking about Long Island Bus, why don't you get a free transfer from Long Island Bus to the subway or from the subway to the Long Island Bus? An unlimited ...
well said..but each region can decide for themselves what is best for them..but all fares could be paid (theoretically) with one metrocard. SR ... moved ... I ...
What issues are you going to find out at the meeting other than them harping on a defecit Jean Dupree <jeandupree@...> wrote: Again, that's beside the...
I really think this is a bad idea. We're talking about transportation between regions. Why should people have to pay different fares in each direction, or...
Such a pessimist, and again we're out with the harps... for the record, the only harp I will be having will be mixed with guiness, making a black & tan. Now,...
once again...they have closed the steps from platform b leading down to broadway at lynbrook..they have removed it,reinstaled it,removed it,reinstalled it and...
Again my point is what do you really thik they are going to be teaching at these meetings. These arent a classroom with a 12 hour lecture on the workings of...
This morning as you all know it was pretty cold. I was waiting for the 7:22 out of Farmingdale. I got there a little early and wound up waiting near the...
I think it will be informative for people who know nothing about the system other than ticket costs and departure/arrival times and want to know more. You're...
