MNRR has 49% of its ridership going to GCT but actually the biggest % in ridership has been over the last 10 years Reverse commuters so much so that MNRR has actually increased service dramatically for reverse peak trains. I rode reverse peak to White Plains for 4 years and those trains are incredibly crowded. I heard that the Stamford Locals are even more crowded.The problem is LI outside of Hempstead and Minola has no other major point where commuters from the city will want to work. If there was a huge demand for reverse commuter then they would do so happily because they want more $$$! However you see the seeds because the MTA wants to double track Port Washington, they want to double track Ronkonkoma they want the third mainline track they want to double track to Speonk they want to double track to Port Jefferson but sadly NIMBYs are destroying any chances of it! It's not the MTA stopping it, its the the people on LI stopping themselves. |
