Thank You. Now that I'm armed with new ideas to consider, I think I'll ask this question: What can we do to make things better? Who in the bureaucratic bog...
Just a further note on Bi-Levels Coaches and the Ronkonkoma Branch. Those of us who live EAST of Ronkonkoma, and regularly remind the LIRR about the idiotic...
============================================== The LIRR says 43 traiins operated "with delays of six to 25 minutes". On the surface 43 trains doesn't sound too...
Ultimately the Governor is responsible for the MTA so he is the top person to "put pressure on." Also various legislators that approve budgets and such are a...

Those 3 minutes you claim are made up are not. Delays are more often than not compounded one on another. So the train gets to one stop 3 minutes late, and on...
Your professionalism is more than appreciated. However you are not the only person on the train, and you have to take into account that while most of the...
The reason commuters care about the "2 minutes" is because it is not just an occasional thing - and it is not just "2 minutes" all the time, it is usually...

My PJ to Penn DD train, arriving officially at 7:20AM daily, hasn't been on time (real time, not LIHR time) since summer. Needless to say, the last couple...
While I agree, for the most part, that the passengers should be kept informed about the reason for a delay, this Bethpage incident was a bit different. The...
Thank you for giving me my moment of humor for the morning. However, no I'm not asking for gory details. A statement like "We are being held indefinitely...
