Posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Wed Sep 12 10:44:56 2007, in response to Re: Staten Island Railway, posted by Michael549 on Wed Sep 12 10:35:40 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.That walk is only 10 minutes between New Dorp Station and Hylan Blvd, but I was actually talking about shopping along the Lane in particular. I always thought that nobody rode the SIR until I rode it myself a good 5-10 times between St. George and Eltingville in both directions and the train become increasingly crowded (SRO in some cases) outside of St. George, particularly during mid-day. And then you have Tompkinsville...which has seems to have the second highest ridership level, next to St. George. And btw...Staten Island's population is at about 500,000. |
