The fact that they will have to walk sometimes many hundreds of feet from the parking areas at Ronkonkoma, well somehow that's okay.Yes, that I don't understand. But even people I know do it. My girlfriend lived in Center Moriches at one time, and she was less than 10 minutes from the Mastic-Shirley station, yet she would drive all the way to Ronkonkoma every day, and then park "miles" from the station and get walk to the train. It had to take at LEAST a half hour to drive to Ronkonkoma, espeically in rush hour traffic, and then at least over 10 minutes to find a parking spot at Ronkonkoma, and endure all the hell that is the Ronkonkoma station. Her reasoning? Well, it's a one seat ride, and much faster than takingn the Montauk Branch. Well, I said to her, "yes, it's faster by at least a half hour or 40 minutes to take the train from Ronk to Penn than from Mastic to Penn, yet you spend all that time driving to Ronk and then trying to park and walking to the station, and then dealing with the crowds there. I never got it. And then she would compain about all the assholes that were on the train. She once sat on some guy's lap accidentally because a SCA type jumped in front of her and into the seat she was going to take as she was putting her coat on the rack!! And then had the nerve to get mad at her! She HATED the Ronkonkoma crowd. The Montauk Branch may be longer, and you may have to change trains, but it's SOOOOOO much less stressful. I don't get the Ronkonkoma appeal. |
