Nobody's saying that. The Rockaways have technically "half a subway service" because the other half of the A trains go to Lefferts Blvd. But that's still more rush hour service than what the LIRR provides on most of its branches and I don't believe the LIRR would be willing to provide anything more frequent. Do you think they would? They already provide only "bare-bones" service to Long Island City and they stopped serving Middle Village, Richmond Hill and Maspeth. They want to reduce service between Brooklyn and Jamaica to a shuttle upon ESA's opening. And last, but not least...they haven't showed any interest in serving the Rockaways again! |
