For your LIRR shuttle solution, it is a good one, but it would have to be free, wouldn't it?I described fare collection before. The LIRR shuttle trains would be solely for this service. There would be metrocard machines at each station. Riders would swipe metrocard and receive a ticket. Ticket would be collected by LIRR conductor. Single fare would be deducted for bus-LIRR Shuttle-#7 Line from Willets Pt trips in either direction. I wonder if simply having Flushing-bound buses end at different spots within a 1/4 to 1/2 mile radius of Main / Roosevelt and then having circulator buses connect the dots would be a little cheaper. Downtown Flushing is constrained by a road system that was created for a small village in the early 19th century. Existing local pedestrian traffic means there will be congestion for any scheme using local streets. |
