Posted by Steamdriven on Sat Apr 20 09:58:33 2019, in response to oddball rail transit observations, posted by ntrainride on Sat Apr 20 07:46:12 2019. That's an uplifting post. I'm among the tiny minority here who thinks NYC needs commuter rail service -inside- the city boundaries. The distance from city center to edge is too much for subway service, especially at 30 mph. From edge to anything past center, fuggeddit.There needs to be a pay more-get more option to cover most of that distance, in-city commuter rail for 2x subway fare. How about extending MNR to Lower Manhattan, then sinking tunnel segments to Atlantic Ave LIRR (yeah, signals, 3rd rail--- those are solve-able physical plant issues). |
