I knew all the predictable excuses; slots and trains in front of us. Does anybody have any real life experience in this particular solution, say the 601 out...
In all honesty though, the problems with the renovation (sic) of 2 Broadway, while they may reflect an overall attitude, really don't have much to do with the...
The money spent on 2 Broadway has nothing to do with the ability of the LIRR to manage their timetable. I'm really starting to question some of your...

My argument was never about seats. But if you want to go there....maybe there aren't enough seats because there aren't enough trains to a certain location. Or...
I know that some people have wild expectations for service, but I thought (complaining about) 8 minutes for a train during peak was a bit much. Phil also...
I know exactly what Mailsales is talking about. On the Babylon line, there's a condition I describe as "Babylon full" - the complaints only occur when there...
It's not about the "8 minutes" as much as it's about the crowded trains that stop and the seemingly empty ones that don't stop at Jamaica. Why not have a...
wow I'd like a train like that! The LIRR has decreed that there can not possibly be anyone who needs to be at work sooner than say 9am. So the early am trains...
"Babylon full" isn't limited to that branch. I work odd hours and head home certain nights after ten o'cock. One night about six years ago, I was in the west...
There are reasons for this behavior, and it is not limited to trains either. I have been on less-than-full planes and people always choose not to sit in a...
Ticket selling machines are temporarily not accepting credit or debit cards. The machines are accepting cash. Please use your March monthly ticket for travel...
This made for a lovely morning for me. I missed my train because I was on a line of people who were all having trouble with the machine. So then finally...
I don't think the problem is with the machines - it's the network that the machines use to authorize credit cards. Metro-North uses identical machines and...
Sorry you had a problem this morning...buy honestly, why do so many people wait until the first day of the month to purchase their monthly ticket? Why don't...
Two different messages from the RR this morning ... at 6:54am, it was "Please use your March monthly ticket for travel this morning," and at 7:34am it was,...
Why did they have to make this big deal about accepting March monthly tickets this morning? I thought that the previous month's tickets were accepted until...
People wait until the first day for a variety of reasons, including (but not limited to): - to hold on to their money longer - because they have been too busy ...
I waited because I hadn't decided whether or not it was worth paying more than double a metrocard fare for the LIRR again this month, and because I assumed the...

As much as we like to make fun of the LIRR, this trip isn't even in their order of magnitude. Paris- Strasbourg is 480kilometers, or just over 298 miles....
There are MANY reasons I personally will NOT take one of those "empty" seats, and it has nothing to do with any of the stated reasons given so far. Have you...
I thought these type of end of month/start of month "crashes" were supposed to be "fixed" by the new machines!!! From: LIRRCommuters@yahoogroups.com...
By the time I boarded the train this morning, the machines on Metro-North were working (10:30-11:00), I only learned that they had a problem when the e-mail...
Yes, your observations are correct, but it still says something when one can go from Paris to Strasbourg faster than many places on L.I. can get to NY City via...
