Well just remember Southwest has a policy of charging overweight people (based on their discretion) for 2 seats - how would you like if the conductors on the...
What time did you go? Assuming that Friday night means sometime in the evening, the LIRR locks the waiting rooms to keep them free of vagrants, drug addicts...
Skanska to reconstruct Amtrak facility in Manhattan for SEK 850 M STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Dec. 1, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Skanska has been contracted to renovate the...
I think they SHOULD charge for 2 seats if you take up 2 seats. I also think they should charge you an extra fare if your packages, suitcases, etc. take up 2...
I'd be ok with that. That would include those who take up more than one seat with packages etc. but also they should give you discount vouchers for anyone who...
I was on the 3:52 to Long Beach. This train always stops outside the tunnel, to pick up LIRR personnel. When we stopped to pick up the LIRR employees, the...
That was exactly what I meant, that somebody planned to ruin everyone's days with a horrible commute. Wrong. What I meant was that it seems like poor ...

That's alright...as I sat for an hour at Jamaica Tuesday night, the signage for the 6:17 from Jamaica to Montauk, when it was finally posted at 6:50, said "on...
I was there at 7pm. Hours should be posted at the doors so people know about this in advance. As for "socially undesirable folks" is it better to keep them...
There have been problems with people "living" in the waiting rooms during the winter. I'm not saying some kind of system couldn't be developed to deal with...
Remote cameras could be an option that the LIRR could consider. Simply put, Switzerland is not Long Island. Different culture, different attitude, different...

Many waiting room hours match the staffed hours (those stations that still have ticket agents). IIRC, Auburndale no longer has a station house (I think it was...

...and haven't we already seen the AirTrain incidents where the engineer-less remote controlled cars end up going off to the yard with passengers still on...
I believe the Alaska system will still have at least an engineer on the train. The new system there is so dispatchers can know where the train is (without a...
The Metro in DC is run on an automated system of some kind. There is an attendant in the engineer compartment who monitors the system, and is ready to take...
This is just an expansion of the ASC system that the LIRR uses right now. NJT is installing a variant (PTC) that will prevent crews from passing stop signals. ...
