(scratches head) Why do you keep throwing in the word "only"? Do you not agree that the vast majority of LIRR passengers, especially outbound LIRR passengers around the PM rush, live in Nassau and Suffolk counties?Yes, part of New York City is technically on Long Island, so, technically, some New Yorkers are also Long Islanders. So what? What does that have to do with the discussion at hand? I ride the subway regularly. You ride the subway once every few months and reminisce over the times that you used to ride the subway regularly in the 80's and early 90's. I'm telling you what I actually see when seats empty up on the subway. Sometimes they go for several stops before they're refilled. A seat is really not a big deal for most subway passengers. (It is for me, incidentally, at least if I'm going to be on the train for more than a few stops, since I can work while I'm seated and because my job keeps me on my feet for hours at a time. But I'm the exception. Most commuters, for whom commuting time is nonproductive and who sit behind desks most of the day, like to have seats but don't make a big deal of it.) |
