It's not that demand is small, it's just that the line is really inconvenient for its slow service. The lines scheduling is really weird, I wonder if more consistent scheduling would yield more ridership.It's not just small. It's very small. That's one of the facts that I think you've lost sight of, just how small LIRR ridership is, and especially how small it is on the Oyster Bay Branch. In the ESA documents, they surveyed AM peak loading. The Babylon routes were busiest, but even there, we're talking about only 29k people. Oyster Bay Branch ridership was about 1800 people, or about 300 people per AM peak train, if you split them evenly; I've not counted the East Williston train, by the way. |
