Okay, I am just metioning it because you mentioned something to the effect of the demographics of Far Rockaway vs people at other stations on the Far Rockaway line could be a for the LIRR not wanting as you phrased it, "I think it's just the LIRR not wanting the "ne'er do wells" of Far Rockaway on their trains.". That couldn't be further from the truth, as it's travel related, not demographic related.It just so happens that Far Rockaway just happens to be in Queens and the stations "closer" to Jamaica are in Nassau. And that's just a victim of the way the line was originally built as a loop using the A line. When that was severed, it sort of made an anormality requiring the fare structure it gets. Again, no one mentioned how it was handled years ago when a train going either direction from Far Rockaway could be going to Penn Station or Flatbush. How did they handle the fare there before the subway took away the Rockaway line? |
