Posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Wed Sep 12 15:50:32 2007, in response to Re: Staten Island Railway, posted by Lord Vader on Wed Sep 12 15:31:50 2007. Why does everyone assume that riders getting off at Tompkinsville are headed to the ferry to beat the fare? It's a long walk up to the ferry..and the margin of time between getting off at Tompkinsville and catching the ferry is usually 5 minutes and even at your fastest pace, you'll get there in time to hear the boat flaring it's horn.Tompkinsville can be considered the Downtown of Staten Island, and 19 different bus lines pass through there. It's a very busy area of Staten Island and people do have destinations right there in Tompkinsville. OTOH though, that's exactly what I was saying. The MTA should rebuild the bridge to have a roof, but I have a different idea. Tompkinsville station should be set-up like St. George in that you have to pay to enter and pay to leave. An MVM can be placed on both sides of the fare-zone and install two Heets on the Victory/Bay end and a single HEET on the Hannah St end. |
