So everyone should arrive 5 minutes early for a train that the LIRR will declare on time even if it shows up 10 minutes later than they arrived?That's the most ludicrous argument I have heard yet. You can't plan your day thinking the train will be late. If the train is scheduled to be there at 9:03, then it's up to you to get there on that platform when the train arrives at 9:03. Sure, sometimes the train may be late, and if you notice it always comes at 9:06, then that's your risk if you cut it that close. That's a gamble you take. And if you lose the gamble, it's not the LIRR's fault, and you shouldn't ge whining about it. Kinda sorta seems like a double standard -- We get to be 5 minutes late, you have to be 5 minutes early. When did Tom Coughlin take over the LIRR? Not at all. You know the time is supposed to be there. If you are not on the platform, at the time the train pulls in, then that's your fault no one elses. And no one is telling anyone to "be there 5 minutes early", but that's a risk you take if you decide not to be there that early. When you lose the bet, you shouldn't be whining that it's the "Lirr's fault". You took the gamble of not allowing enough time, so you pay the consequenses. Sure sometime the train will be late, and if it's always late, then make adjustments IF YOU CHOSE, but then again, don't compain when you miss the train when it comes on time. Everyone never takes responsibility for their own actions. It's never "their fault". These are the same people that if they do change the scheduling if possible, would then arrive even later than they do now, cutting it even closer and then miss the train, and then complain it's "still the LIRR's fault". |
