Posted by RonInBayside on Sun Sep 3 11:47:10 2006, in response to Re: Intermediate Station Fare Payment on SIRT (was:Re: Scrap pecking order with R44-SI), posted by tydev417 on Sun Sep 3 10:38:14 2006. As Professor Greenberger points out, Staten Islsanders get a really good deal with their use of bus+railway+ferry. I have no objection to free use of the SI Railway within Staten Island, because this is a concession to SI residents, who have gotten, with the exception of a very small extension to the ballpark, no investment in rail transit.Is it too littkle a concession? Should buses on SI be half-fare? Some folks in Queens would point out that Queens' population has increased a lot over the last 60 years while the borough still has the least subway service of the four boroughs served by the subway. Should they get concessions for that? SI lost two transit branches AND a rail connection to NJ a long time ago. I hope that one day we can see some restoration of the service they used to have. |
