Google Transit said to go that way and that is what they will do.Say someone lives along the L Line. They go to Manhattan on a weekend using the L. It's an absolutely miserable trip. They'll start asking around, how else can I do this next time? Someone will tell them how to use the M or the G, or even the A or the 3, whichever makes most sense for their situation. |

Typically the "founder" is a smart opportunist with serious work ethic, but the descendents are often complete losers. It is difficult to raise a prince within the palace without spoiling him. The Ottoman Turks used to send the boys to livewith some provincial nobility away from the palace intrigues, and encouraged murder within the family--as in kill your half brother so he doesn't kill you. That dynasty holds the record for a "single" ruling family remaining in control--600 years. |

He came on a year into Ford’s term as mayor. At least Ford stepped down in 2014 when his term was up. Cuomo has no intention of leaving office (unless he actually does decide to run for President!). |

I read this line and had to laugh: {Ms. Lever is Gov. Cuomo's spokesperson.}But Ms. Lever said the $40 billion price tag for Mr. Byford’s overhaul plan was “an incredible sum to come by.” She also said Mr. Cuomo expected more progress from the transit authority after he secured new funding through congestion pricing. Really? "expected more progress" from a scam that has yet to have a price, who pays vs. who doesn't, or a collection system, or a distribution process. In other words, has yet to produce one cent in revenue, and won't until after the 2020 election cycle. <cynical mode="on"> and if it does for the 'subways',{MNRR & LIRR are already getting a piece}, what 50 years of NYS lottery has done for schools... don't hold your breath.<cynical mode="off"> |

At least in the subway, it uses the same feed as the next train display.I am a realist and I know that using paper timetables is foolish and obsolete.* Maybe you have ESP and you can predict a car accident miles ahead, but the rest of us use apps for that. I use an app that routes me around those every time, while you get stuck for an hour. Not turning on your GPS every time is unbelievably careless. *Unless you want to prepare for a dead battery, then it’s OK. |

If I took I-287, it would be 1 mile longer and save 5 minutes. It is also dangerous with a lot of accidents.I drive 11 miles and take a county bus the final 6 miles, which is the worst portion, a dangerous road with drivers doing stupid things, and there is no highway alternative. Also save me parking. I work in downtown New Brunswick. Nothing "luddite" about not referring to a Smartphone for such a trip. It simply has no use. For long road trips, I have a conventional Garmin auto GPS. Also have a Dash cam, which I always turn on. |
