Hi. I read a while back that the train crews have no control over the temperatures in the train cars. If that is true, then where are the heating/cooling...
There may be a lack of room- but the existing facilities can be used much better to accomodate the people here now. The fact that the LIRR runs so few trains...
Is there someone on board each train to ensure the conductors are doing their jobs? Ive been commuting for over 10 years and it seems as though the conductors...
There is not someone on every train, though there are some people who pose as riders to verify that all is going as it is suppoed to. If you have a complaint...
Ok, here it is finally. This is my statistics for the entire month of January. First, a note as to my methodology. I kept track of my actual arrival times for...
Ok, here are my opinions. You may not agree with my opinions, but the facts are indisputable. Thus the reason for two seperate posts. First, I was surprised...

The posing as riders is a crock and I dont believe it. All isnt going as its should. If the LIRR listened and the people they service who experience it...
You want an easy way for the LIRR to save money. Correct me if my numbers are wrong, but this is about the principle of doing more with less. I remember ...

The LIRR and MN charge the accountholder's credit card on the third of each month. At 2% interest, and the assumption that the $1B in ticket funds is equal...

Actually the cost of processing checks is higher than credit cards. This is based on a number of factors: a. Incresed personnel cost to process checks which...
Check handling does not cost a fortune. As the system exists now, the LIRR does not handle check processing for Mail and Ride accounts. They use a "lockbox"...
I am not going to repeat my post to Ron (you should have it now), but consider the following: The LIRR does not process checks now. The LIRR is in the same...
