Posted by Hart Bus on Sat Aug 30 13:17:59 2014, in response to Someone Broke Into Hillside Support Facility, posted by Kriston Lewis on Fri Aug 29 20:08:43 2014. I would like to make some comments about this alleged occurrence and all the previous posts.1 - If the story is true, which I doubt, it seems to have been written by a young wise-ass. If getting off at HF is not legal except for LIRR employees and authorized visitors, why incriminate yourself by telling your story on the internet? Typical of today's youth posting all their exploits for the world to see. They don't know, or want to know that are always consequences for your actions. 2 - I would doubt there is a waiting room in the building. Never having been to HF, perhaps there is an area to wait in case of cold or inclement weather, which I would understand. When it is a nice day the employees could wait on the platform rather than being indoors. Most of us who have ridden the LIRR have done that. 3 - If there are vending machines there, so what. If the employees are putting their own money in there, then the measly profits would go to the MTA to pay the bills. The money earned is so negligible that if it pays for the proportionate share of the electricity with something left over to "reduce" the deficit, that's okay. 4 -It's a smart thing to have a station there. It takes many cars off the road, along with the attendant road crowding and pollution. Also eliminates the need for the acquisition of more land for a larger parking lot. 5 - As to the fact that the facility is actually in Hollis, but is called HF, what other name would you give it? Can't call it "Hollis Facility" since that would cause a lot of confusion with that station. I can live with the name HF since the old Hillside Station is just west of the current platforms. In fact if you look to the north side on a w/b train you can see remnants of the old station, just before the fly-over joins the main line. Just my thoughts |
