Let's see, adding at least 8 miles of track and stations that are now available for payment of one fare as opposed to an expensive LIRR ticket...hmmm....better give you the whole box of tissue, not just one.IMHO, the conversion of the Rockaway Line to the IND was probably just about the second worst policy decision done to the Rockaways. The only other that was worse was the demolition of summer bungalows and cottages and the construction of large scale housing projects. IMHO, it probably would have been best for the city to subsidize the LIRR's operations in Queens and Brooklyn to avoid the painfully slow ride on the IND Mainline to Midtown. IIRC, around the same time, the City of Philadelphia kicked in money for the commuter operations around Philadelphia and helped to pay for some of the first generation of Silverliners. |
