I'm a huge fan of using exisiting LIRR infrastructure to expand rail service in the outter boros. The problem is west end capacity, especially since LIRR is fixated on severing FBA. If it was possible, I'd do the following routes every 20 mins at full time city ticket fare:Bayside-NYP/GCT (all stops including Willets Point since they'll be developing the iron triangle) Belmont Park-NYP/GCT (all stops including a reopened Hillside station). This would require rebuilding of Queens interlocking into a flyover that would allow westbound trains coming out of Belmont as well as Hempstead to cross over to the correct side without fouling any other tracks on the main Valley Stream-NYP/GCT via Far Rock/Long Beach branch (all stops with a new stop built at Linden Blvd) Freeport/West Hempstead-NYP/GCT via Montauk branch (all stops except Valley Stream and Rosedale with Springfield Blvd stop maybe reopened) Any stops served outside the city zone will retain whatever zone ticketing they have (mostly zone 4) |
