Any estimate on the running time from Sagamore Av to 34 St? :)Extrapolating at 1½-2 minutes per stop, 59-66 minutes. To make the numbers easy: Subway: 62 minutes + average wait 3 minutes = 65 minutes LIRR: 45 minutes + average wait 30 minutes = 75 minutes Okay, that's not a valid comparison on all sorts of levels, but it's not as ridiculous a subway extension as it might first sound. |
