And while population does go up from Little Neck and west, it's not as if the train is transitioning from farmland to skyscrapers at Little Neck. St. Albans/Rosedale et.al. are served by trains from Nassau and Suffolk who's passengers do not want to have extra stops in Queens. I don't think any commuter wants to have any stops between their origin and destination, but it's a great way to prevent having to incur all of the costs of service yourself. Perhaps the difference here is that Port Washington riders in a sense practically feel as if they are already in Queens, such that those extra Queens stops seem natural, while on the other hand, westbound runs reaching St. Albans have often already quite a bit of mileage covered in Nassau/Suffolk. |
