Posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Wed May 9 11:17:39 2012, in response to Re: Lhota tells Long Island Association no East Side Access until 2019, posted by Edwards! on Wed May 9 01:22:44 2012. why in the world would it have to be a "fetish"?You and many others in this group have routinely proposed it on multiple occasions, but one could argue that those of us who argue for S-Bahnization of the commuter rail networks have a fetish for our ideal network as well. Also..why in the world would the LIRR do anything to accommodate NYC TRANSIT riders..? I'd argue that they'd have to beaten into doing that. Mind you, what I'm proposing is pretty much de rigeur in much of Europe where the commuter rail networks run at high frequency and there's some type of fare integration within the network. We need to move away from concepts of different payment schemes and prices per network and move to a system where the rider is given the freedom to chose the mode that best works for them. Furthermore..the LIRR could never be through routed to the rest of the subway system in any way. Of course not, and the S-Bahns in Germany aren't through routed via the Stadtbahns or U-Bahns with the exception of tram-train networks, nor is the RER routed via Paris Metro, but the idea is to have a complimentary network. Bottom line..I dont understand why you would compare the two entirely different systems to each other. Go to Germany like I did, and you'll come back praising it. :-) |
