Posted by Michael549 on Wed Sep 12 10:35:40 2007, in response to Re: Staten Island Railway, posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Wed Sep 12 09:10:18 2007. Walking the distance to/from the New Dorp shopping area (K-mart, Etc) and the New Dorp SIR station is not a quick walk. Let's see there's the waiting 30 to 60 minutes for the train, and if you do not know the schedule by heart or have a handy schedule - the wait is no picnic.There is having to know that all of your destinations have to soley on Staten Island, and soley within walking distance of the SIR, not always that easy. One the other hand, folks who can confine themselves to such trips are not using their cars which is often seen as good. And there are how many Staten Islanders? About 400,000, just 5% of the city's population. So just how many do you think ride the SIR soley on Staten Island for free? Mike |
