The LIRR recently dismissed even trying to have "quiet cars." Other RR's and transit systems can manage much more difficult options, like Korea below. If they...
The MTA never ceases to amaze me - just not in good ways. There are serious issues with service, fares and ridership from Long Island - so what do they do? ...
The zone 1 to 3 fare structure is outrageously overpriced. $7 peak to go from Bayside to Penn, or even just Woodside? That's ridiculous. Even moreso are the 1...
And where would they put all of these extra riders, that wouldn't contribute much extra to the system? Why don't they just try running some real express E...
Zone 1 to 3 may be over priced, but the fact is that fares have been going up a higher, compounding percentage more as one goes east. You may complain about a...
I believe there was a letter into Newsday a few days ago from a commuter referring the "LIRR vigilante" and how he understood in part why the vigilante loses...
Thanks for the stats. This unequal fare policy towards Zone 14 (and 12), also drives more business away from the LIRR. I often hear from some people how much...
It comes down to people being rude, inconsiderate and stubborn. We need more people like Mr. Clifford. He's doing the job their parents never did. ... part ...
... the sutphin blvd station all the way to 53rd lex ave-no stops. it would be a mon-fri "rush hour" train only. im sure that the TA would come up with a dozen...
... good day- to go from bell& northern boulevards in bayside to 34th street and 8th ave. now he takes the LIRR which is 20-30 minutes each way. he finally...
It amazes me because there is no real reason for it. If one looks back at the fare increases since 1974 only the 1975 increase was "flat" - that all zones went...
I am sure we are not the first, nor the last to suggest this type of express train. You are correct that rather than trying to figure out how to make it work,...
I think I have posted it before, but it seems relavent. For about 9 months before we got a second car, I took the bus to the train in the morning. It was...
Bus and LIRR schedules are notoriously out of sync and really do not help each other. There has been lots of talk about coordinating them, but no action to...
I may not be arriving and departing at the right times (as Ian's experience proves) but I have yet to see any bus service to the stations serviced on the...
I do not think the so-called freedom ticket would be a good idea. There is a difference between the LIRR (a commuter rail service) and the NYC subway, an urban...
Your unlimited does work all over the city and Nassau buses, but if you have a pay per ride, while you can transfer from a city bus to a subway, you can not...
The LIRR is overloaded with people - on western areas. It is not overloaded at eastern stations. I also think the MTA is going in the wrong direction here -...
You're not kidding. Pretty soon, our trains will look like that video of the train from India...with people crammed in and hanging on the damn thing. Hold on,...
... some LI buses that begin in nassau and travel to points in suffolk but most suffolk bus service is provided by suffolk transit which is NOT an MTA agency. ...
... up, i took the N4 bus to the end of the line in jamaica. I had either a $10 or $20 pay per ride card,and was able to enter/exit the e train with no...
On my last trip to the city on the LIRR, i witnessed what i thought was a pretty funny encounter. board the train, and the car i boarded happened to be one of...
... used on weekends.yes i agree with you;those in the five boros have far more transportation options than those of us in nassau and suffolk. how about a...
Maybe it had to do with the proximity of the transfer, both time and distance. I have taken the bus to the train in Hicksville, then the train from Hicksville...
Mr Beach, in this case, I think I can make an exception :) And who the hell was this conductor anyway? What the hell was he thinking? Deduct those tickets he...
... in nassau county: 1- schedules from the year of the flood.its 2007; the twenty first century and they run TWO trains per hour off peak? In 1979 there was ...
... metrocard;thats why you are getting a paper transfer.If using a metrocard one has TWO hours to complete a transfer. There was a funny story in NY magazine...
A train routed in error at Mineola? That's got to mean a Main Line train was routed up the Oyster Bay branch, or an Oyster Bay train was routed on the Main...
This seems to be happening alot lately. I've been on 2 mis-routed trains in the last few weeks. Once, on the way to Ronkonkoma, we made a wrong turn down the...
