So you're opposed to the Subway operating within many segments of the city, but you want it to run to a place it legally can't?Rockaway line The City had been planning the inclusion the Rockaways to the subway since the first drafts of the second system program, and it probably the largest idea from that era to get off the drawing board so far. The line was a serious money loser for the LIRR as a private company. it served the seaside traveler trade much more than a real "Commuter" route. Prior to World War I and the separation of Rail and Transit, the BRT used to offer direct, one seat service via a connection between the Atlantic Branch and the Jamaica line at Chestnut Street. LIRR trains also used to travel via the Jamaica and Centre Street Lines and terminate at Chambers street. The subway offers greater connectivity than the LIRR. $2.75 to go wherever you want. Even with City ticket you are limited to where the railroad goes plus $2.75 for the subway to go further. Staten Island connection to the subway The borough's links to the rest of the city are poor. why is trying to fix that problem a problem in itself? |
