I've also used the subway to reach many parts of the city. For example, I've traveled to Astoria by taking the express bus to midtown and transferring to the N/Q ...And from other experience, I can say that a trip along the 4th Avenue Local, after leaving SI would not be too attractive to me. What would work would be a tunnel directly from downtown to SI- instead of extending the R, extend the SAS!! But I also know that the astronomical cost of such a tunnel pretty much guarantees it won't ever happen. In light of costs, etc, I say the best rail option for Staten Island is local, subway-type service on the North Shore and Tottenville lines, and commuter rail from Port Ivory to NYP. |
