In other words, what I've been saying for years: the testosterone-dripping, alphanumeric-driving*, cartball-playing, won't-fight-back-against-the-hijackers, new-trophy-wife-every-few-years Alpha-Male SCA's who infest Ronkonkoma flock to that station like flies to a grogan because they're too lazy to drag their God-damned suit-covered anii ten feet across the platform at Jamaica/Hicksville/Babylon/Huntington and therefore refuse to take the underutilized Port Jefferson or Montauk lines even when, as is so often the case, they live closer to those lines.Hahaha. Yes that's the jist of it. And the railroad KNOWS they will also come to Yaphank when it materializes. Me personally? I take the Montauk Branch any day over the Ronkonkoma Branch. It's so much less stressful, the C3's are way more comfortable, and the "people" are much more tolerable. The only times I drive to Ronkonkoma is when I know I am going to be in Manhattan late, and since the last train out of Penn Station to the Montauk Branch is only 12:30 in the morning, I have to take the Ronkonkoma line because it has service all night. It only takes once to learn your lesson to be at Penn Station at 1:00 in the morning, my car parked along the Montauk Branch, and the only trains going close to home are going to Ronkonkoma, then being stranded at Ronkonkoma, and having to call someone in the middle of the night to pick me up and drive me to my car.... |
