Wave of Development, Cleared for Takeoff By SAM ROBERTS Published: January 1, 2007 City, state and federal agencies granted final approvals last month to a...
--they cant even maintain and manage what they already have and now they want to spend mega $$ on even more projects-without the needed personnel and...
--once and for all,its time to treat the alcohol situation like the on- board smoking situation-BANNED PERMANENTLY. I have to agree with what phil said on this...
I think we should start a pool on which of these projects which actually get built first! And talk about another transportation nighmare. I went to the Jet...
You are right that what is here now is not managed as well as it could be. I see these new Mega-Projects as being long overdue and as an opportunity TO update...
The train station (to Giants Stadium) will not be direct from Manhattan. Travelers from New York - Penn Station will have to transfer at Secaucus Junction for...
--so heres the deal..i want to go say from long beach to giants stadium by train. i travel from lb to penn,then penn to secaucus then to giants stadium. 3...
As it stands, Secaucus transfers are like Jamaica transfers (timed reasonably well). The trains that serve the Meadowlands will likely be Hoboken trains that...
LIRR + subway (or 8-9 block walk) + NJ Transit Bus would probably take just as long as 3 trains when you factor in traffic. ... From: "Eileen Johnson"...
if it is NOT a one seat or at most a two seat ride with little waiting time,it is NOT going to work no matter how much $$ is spent. i also doubt that it would...
Your observation that the current fare structure "stymies people" from wanting to go to the city (in a group of more than two people) is very accurate. Car...
I agree, the single-ride fares are on the high side. There is a 10% discount available by using an off-peak ten-trip ticket. An off-peak ten-trip ticket...
I don't think it is a question of whether or not it will work; it's a question of how well it is going to work. Most people don't do the Get to PABT-Bus to...

Delays all over at Jamaica (~7:40 AM). Track changes, delayed trains, trains that are announced but never appeared. And, as usual, no acknowledgment of it....
I should have written this a while ago but.... At the Hempstead Gardens crossing, there are a few "Elect ***** **********" signs still attached to the fence...

Tsk tsk... I know that's the law but it's seldom followed. I was hoping to get some input regarding the "made a pariah" comment ;-) Really, would it have been...

Let's hope Elliot "Lee" Sander just happens to ride a Ronkonkoma train on the day the LIRR LITTERS the trains with its fake-ass monthly performance stats. ...
I'm serious. Take this morning as an example. It's not "in my job description" but I made coffee. I also opened the door for the delivery guy. It's really...
Not likely. I think he rides out of Douglaston. Hes probably got 97% OTP (LIRR #s, still probably about 90% OTP realistically) BTW, have you been to...
It was mentioned here before that the new P.A. in Jamaica is actually understandable. This is a real improvement for customers - assuming the LIRR actually...
