The new station in East Farmingdale flies in the face of the logic they used when they relocated several stations to make more efficient use of the acceleration of the electric carsI suspect they didn't bother with a station there to simply avoid the costs of building an upgraded facility with high platforms, especially since the advantage of going electric is the superior acceleration. If one looks from the perspective of traditional commuter operations, there's little reason to build a station there as there's no residential area near by or a park and ride to supply riders. With modern policy perspectives, the station is seen as an inter-modal facility with transfers to local bus services. |
