The MTA did a about face on the expansion plans, instead focusing on the LIRR eastern lines. They enhanced services, and has attempted to draw passengers at the higher fare.. instead of NYCTA based fares. This didn't actually help riders, and only served to add to already packed LIRR trains from the east. This not only added to the considerable misery.. but increased the the anti city folks on "our trains" sentiments. The MTAs attempt at creating a semi regional system,has failed. The solution has always been complete integration of both subway and commuter rail operations, with hybrid vehicles able to operate on both. The problem is, there is to much division, and the lack of Can Do spirit to make good decisions happen. The ideal situation would have the rapid transit operation take over most Nassau Queens Manhattan and Brooklyn services, While longer distances would be handled by direct Grand Central or Pennsylvania Station trains. Obviously, this is the LIRR we are talking about, not Metro North.. However, the hybrid car can adopt to the MNRR archetype third rail, and cover most routes,even HellGate. What's holding this back is logistics, and personal fiefdoms. Logistics can be worked on, and worked out. Ego's are a totally different animal. Thanks for pointing out my mix up. |
