Your're wrong, and you don't understand the bus system either.Do you actually think people will wait up to a half hour, like at night or on weekends at Lynbook for a stinkin' bus to come up from Far Rockaway rather than take a direct train ? Ever ride a rush hour WH train ? I did for 13 years. My mother did for 22 years. They are well patronized. Offer 1950's style service the rest of the time, and you get what you have. There is no bus near Westwood. The N32 bus takes twice as long as stops every 3 blocks. Nobody but the transit dependent take Nassau County buses, especially when a train is available. Then why pay $2.50 bus fare to then take the LIRR at Lynbrook, and pay a fare that is not cheap. If you are such a believer in the N31/N32, which runs through the Five Towns to Far Rockaway, you have also indicated FR Branch is a "useless transit corridor" and the bus is a better option. Commuter rail is not a subway, so I do not understand this "transit corridor" nonsense. |
