What's all this talk of hiring more collectors to punch tickets if the process takes too long? First, there is plenty of time before and after Jamaica to check...

One, people are lazy. Two, people like to sit on the train so as to position themselves near where they need to exit the train to be close to the car....
Some people would stand closer to their exit (or where they can easily transfer at Jamaica) rather than sit in the rear. It makes no sense to me unless you...

The LIRR has had "communication" problems for decades. This was recently pointed out, yet again, in a report by the PCAC. Mr. Deekman was one attempt to help...

Once was a conductor on the Long Beach branch who folded over the seat checks of those going to Penn so he wouldn't have to check tickets after Jamaica. One...
