"I'd like to see the express buses shifted toward reverse direction LIRR service."Who's paying? NYC? No thanks. "An Over The Road coach is overkill for travel from the boroughs to Manhattan, with the exception of SI." There are no transit buses that seat 57 passengers. They are overkill structurally, but it is the capacity that is sorely needed to keep express bus costs in check. Now, they need to rework the schedules to use the extra seats. Buses should be scheduled for a 45 passenger load, not 35 passengers. "Heck they can even charge $15 for express buses to the Hamptons. It's STILL much cheaper than the Jitney." The Jitney does not need taxpayer funds. The users pay for everything. "The LIRR and HJ is not cutting it for folks traveling out east for work and pleasure. HJ is expensive, LIRR has lousy schedules for travel out east and is unreliable, like currently there's disruptions in service on the Montauk branch. Must be chaos. And the only other choice is HJ, which is probably all booked up anyway." Hampton Jitney is not expensive for their target market. |
