Disabled commuters face transit access problems BY JILLIAN ABBOTT Thursday, April 26, 2007 4:27 PM CDT Meg Spears navigated her power chair into the elevator...
I don't buy it -- the conductors are supposed to assist disabled passengers, and every car has a bridge plate and handicapped-accessible seating. The gap has...
Exactly, those procedures have been in place for years and we can all see the results -- practically no disabled passengers, and even fewer that commute. The...
Slots slots, not enough slots.... In defense of the conductors, it's a pain. Gap or none, they need the bridge. That means they have to collect the tickets,...
Where are you getting the numbers to assert that there are virtually no disabled commuters or passengers? It's hard to make assumptions based on the hysterics...
I can count on one hand the number of disabled passengers I have seen over the years. This includes major stations like Penn and (or especially) Jamaica....

The whole point is that they shouldn't require help. I agree that the LIRR presents only a part of the obstacles disabled face trying to commute. Also, please...
When I lived in RVC there were disabled (wheelchair-bound) passengers. No daily monthlies (at least not on my trains), but that was probably because I was...

If the LIRR can make its horns quieter to the surrounding area, while still meeting all safety requirements, what is the problem? To use your example, suppose...

OK, now that you have replied to the hypothetical situation why not reply to the real one - "If the LIRR can make its horns quieter to the surrounding area,...
They can't have bells at the crossings....the horns can't be too loud...but if accident happens and the reason given was "they couldn't hear the horn", they'd...
They DO have bells at crossing and I have never heard anyone say that the reason for a crossing accident was that they couldn't hear the horn. Thanks for the...
