Re: $787K Study Seeks to Find Ways to Encourage Subway Riders to Ride LIRR and MNRR

Posted by SLRT on Fri Apr 6 12:58:53 2018, in response to $787K Study Seeks to Find Ways to Encourage Subway Riders to Ride LIRR and MNRR, posted by heypaul on Fri Apr 6 06:15:04 2018.

Typical NYC proposal: relieve our problems by sloughing them off on someone else.

Show me where the excess capacity on the LIRR is to absorb significant city ridership.

Suburban fares are close to confiscatory; but if you avoid going to a City terminal (to Jamaica only for the best example) the difference between a one-way peak ticket to Jamaica or Penn is ~$4.25. Off peak is about $3. These would be the baselines on how low the city fare could go.
