Of course one could always add an extra train and see what happens - and it might increase passenger numbers but we always want the LIRR to operate like a...
True but Penn will be a much bigger target at that time. Athletes and rock stars aren't as high up on the hit list as members of our government. So far no...
Seriously, they will slap you down with a $3 (or is it more?) penalty for buying it on the train, in a place where you have no choice but to pay. (not like...
Who considered 110 to be eastern suffolk? Thats barely over the county line!! ... issue of service on the Main Line east of Ronkonkoma. ... eastern Suffolk....
If anyone has ever tried to park at the Ronkonkoma station in the morning they will know the meaning of futility. I left Ronkonkoma a few years ago, but I...
The most disturbing thing for me about Dermody's comments re main line east of Ronkonkoma is that the RR apparently had no intention of improving the frequency...
WCBS 880 just had a story that the Connecticut Department of Transportation was going to try to change some statute to allow financing of 20 push-pull cars and...
parking is a town or village issue. they have the right to charge you whatever they want, seeing how high the demand is. This is part of the problem--if they...

Just for the record, most conductors and collectors don't agree with the LIRR doing away with the forgotten ticket policy or the new on board procedures. We...
It's clear that you have a lot to learn about how Long Island and the LIRR work. You can start by looking at the station pages on the MTA site. They clearly...
I usually write about I have such good experiences on the RR when everyone else complains. The last big snowstorm had my train running on time both to and...

More power to you, I agree that some may feel you are being petty, but I too agree that to not have a forgotten ticket policy is a mistake. BTW, I had a friend...
Maybe this is an opportunity for us to make the LIRR do what we want. Would anyone be interested in petitioning the MTA to re-establish the forgotten ticket...
I question the very existence of the on board penalty. Why is it there in the first place? A ticket should be a ticket no matter where you buy it. To make...
Wow, gee, thanks for taking the time to point out the obvious and be condescending at the same time. See, I thought this was a forum where I could ask...
... It frees up the on-train staff from carring lots of cash, and gives them time to check on more passengers. And it gives LIRR reason to have functional...
Not win win for the people who have to pay up. Thats pretty much lose lose. This was a much bigger problem before the TVM's... though I tend to get stuck...

When you make statements like "I don't know of any LIRR station that has adequate parking", it's your ignorance that is revealed - didn't you admit a few...
