But all someone has to do to protest is to take a commuter train to the next Amtrak station. If people won't do that tiny bit of voting with their feet, I guess the wait at Penn Station New York isn't all that bad and they should stop complaining.In Westbury, NY, a school zone recently got speed cameras. After the cameras were activated, the village board voted to RAISE the speed limit from 15 mph to 20 mph. One of the points raised was that people were avoiding the school zone altogether and increasing traffic on adjacent side streets (whose residents were complaining). Voting with your feet works. I maintain that if people simply stopped boarding Amtrak trains at Penn Station New York, this bit of security theatre would quickly have its final performance. |
