"It sure wasn't built as the quickest way between New York and Oyster Bay, or even Jamaica and Oyster Bay. "Again, you still haven't answered what it's purpose was then. It was probably built as affordably as possible. The North Shore RR considered extending from Great Neck to Roslyn and Huntington, but they opted for Port Washington. But those are 2 different RRs. Face it, the RR built the OB line primarily to serve riders traveling from that area to NYC. As for Brooklyn, I'm saying it's more expensive for riders whose destination or origin (not both) is between Jamaica and FBA. They'll have to pay for a monthly to Jamaica and then the $89 for a monthly metrocard, which comes out to be more expensive than a monthly ticket to/from Brooklyn on just the RR. And again, what about capacity? I'm not talking about 25-30 years down the road, I'm talking 100 years. |
