Posted by BusMgr on Sat May 19 13:21:54 2012, in response to LIRR Alcohol Ban: End of the Line for Midnight Drinkers, posted by Gold_12TH on Fri May 18 23:26:20 2012. Comparing trains between midtown and Flushing on Friday and Saturday nights. The no. 7 train from Times Square, both the station platform and the trains themselves, are filled with generally quiet and respectful people, traveling peacefully home. The LIRR train from Penn Station is filled with drunks and promiscuity ("train-o-sluts"), boisterous and disrespectful, most of whom appear to travel for points east of Flushing.Perhaps my observations are too casual, but it seems to me that, in general, New Yorkers are much better behaved than Long Islanders and other suburbanites. I'm not quite certain why, but I think it something to do with the fact that there is so much to do in New York, and since there's much to do on Long Island they to drink instead (and when traveling to New York, they bring their drunken behavior with them). |
