"Medford and Yaphank would both see much better use if those stations had some sort of usable service. It so underseved that it's beyond me."I'm not so sure about that. As noted, many riders have tremendous resistance to changing trains. Look at the way people who live much closer to Montauk or Port Jefferson line stations (which do have adequate service) will drive long distances to Ronkonkoma, just so they won't have to drag their suit-covered anii ten feet across the platforms at Jamaica/Babylon/Huntington. The fact that they will have to walk sometimes many hundreds of feet from the parking areas at Ronkonkoma, well somehow that's okay. I just checked mta.info for Yaphank to Penn. There's one train, the 6:34 arriving 8:20, with 2 changes: Ronkonkoma AND Jamaica. Yaphank to Hunterspoint is even slower, arriving at 8:36. I bet if they did even a single Riverhead to Hunterspoint train, it would be packed. They could do a little better than that. |
