Re: CitiTicket ridership (Flushing to Little Neck) vs Q12/Q13 weekend ridership

Posted by NIMBYkiller on Wed Feb 13 17:46:38 2019, in response to CitiTicket ridership (Flushing to Little Neck) vs Q12/Q13 weekend ridership, posted by BrooklynTrain on Mon Feb 11 22:59:58 2019.

I think a restructuring of LIRR fares within NYC is long overdue, but it will result in higher ridership which means they're going to have to run more service. How much is a question, and how much of the new post-ESA capacity at NYP will it eat up? Either way, I'd propose the following:

NYP/GCT are Zone 1
All current LIRR Zone 1 stations are put into a new Zone 2
Zone 3 remains as is

Intra-zone travel = subway/bus fare
Travel to adjacent zone = something around the price of city ticket
Travel between zones 1 and 3 = express bus fare

This way hopefully some local routes can be reduced and some express routes could be outright eliminated.
