"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"Seen it enough times Brah. The folks I see getting off at T-ville are with me on the same boat, panting but otherwise made the sprint. T-ville is really not that far and the train usually arrives 10-15 minutes before departure-enough time to sprint, grab a cold one at the bodega, and make it as the doors are opening. Of course, this is during off-peak periods. Myself, I swipe my card, still breathe easily, and have me a cold beer and two hot dogs and enjoy my cruise to Whitehall. Lord Vader |
