Posted by Broadway Lion on Mon Nov 6 11:17:59 2006, in response to Re: LIRR: Another GAP Fall...., posted by Olog-hai on Sun Nov 5 20:52:38 2006. "Ain't as many as with these LIRR gaps—I daresay you can count 'em on your hand over the past few decades for all US passenger rail."Dare say? Dare you say? But you do not *know*! Ain't as many? Ain't as many passengers on all of those other railroads as are on the LIRR. Maybe you could make this into a per 100,000 number. And of those lions which have not a pride of high level platforms, how many handicapped are defeated by the thought of those trains and buy not even one ticket. For a handicapped person working in New Haven, it is easier to drive to work and park in a near by handicapped parking space. For a handicapped person working in New York City, it is NOT easier to drive, to fine a parking place, any parking place, and to negotiate their to an office somewhere. Much easier to take a train. So LION thinks that you are married to a low level platform, and so be it, most other civilized places use high level platforms and mind the gap. LIRR is addressing the gap problem, it should have been addressed sooner, but that is the way of things. They do not get attention until they attract attention. ROAR |
