Posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Sun Nov 11 01:54:06 2007, in response to Re: SI residents on MTA Fare Hike, posted by WillD on Sun Nov 11 01:30:41 2007. If the little whining babies on that trash heap otherwise known as Satan Island have to have their subway then lets extend the R via a deep bore and tell them to shut the fuck up. Staten Islanders have every right to complain as you wouldn't save any damn time riding through Brooklyn. You might as well keep the ferry then.... The SIR saw the second biggest jump in ridership in the entire nation because of one little schedule change that added more express trains. When actions are made, people will respond. We don't need to ride through Brooklyn if that's not where the bulk of the commuters want to go as that's what the S53/S93 and S79 is there for. And btw if you're going to talk crap about a borough, at least get your facts right. Staten Island's population is at 477,000 and is the only borough that STILL has the potential to grow further, neverminding the fact that it's already the fastest growing county of NY State. SI's population won't always remain the way it is, and can easily jump higher again as soon as a new commute alternative is introduced as history dictates: (B&O RR/SIRTOA (late 1800s, early 1900s), Outerbridge/Gothaels/Bayonne (1930s), Verrazono Bridge/SI Expressway (1960s), NYCT SIR (1970s, 1980s), Express Bus Network (1990s), More/New ferry/bus/SIR service (2000s)..) |
