You guys are missing the point.The LIRR is a business. Businesses exist to serve their customers. Allowing a situation to exist where you take some of your best customers (daily riders) and force them to make a choice between waiting 45 minutes and risking their safety / getting a ticket is bad business . McDonalds, Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts customers wanted to get their coffee and meals faster. They didn't want to park their cars, cross the parking lot and wait on line inside the store because it took too long. They could have told their customers to leave their houses earlier but instead they built drive through windows. This is what a well-run business does --> they look for a way to serve their customers better. A person who wants to take the 9:03 train should know that if they arrive at the station at 9:02 they won't be waving good-bye to the train. Given the scheduling issue Mitch described, that is exactly what is happening. |
