Electrify to Smithtown and provide matching diesel service and you'll see fewer people driving to Ronkonkoma and much busier diesel stations on the Port Jeff.As I mentioned numerous times, it's not enough. Electrification of the ENTIRE Port Jeff line would only save 10 minutes of travel time over the current schedule. Ronkonkoma is only a good hour. Ronkonkoma still wins. It will be VERY hard to recapture the riders that abandoned the PJ line for Ronkonkoma. A a two seat, longer ride ain't gonna do it. |
