The majority of folks using the SIR ride between the ferry and their destination, so the "free rides" myth is not as much as some folk like to make it. Yes, there are some (a small number) of riders who ride free between the stations, but often those folks use the buses, and their fare is captured that way. At the Tompkinsville station, they are building a brand new fare building to collect the fares of those entering and leaving the station. So the nearest station where this supposed myth takes will soon be out of the equation. Those folks who were claiming that there are plenty of "free rides to the ferry" will now have to come up with a different myth. The next nearest station, Stapleton is a great distance away from the ferry, and in no way is desirable for a free trip to the ferry.Since Manhattan is an island, Long Island (containing Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk) is an island, and of course, Staten Island is an island - that leaves only the Bronx as a part of the MAINLAND. There is a myth that persists that Staten Island is some far off mystical place somehow not really a part of New York City. Stop it - we pay New York City taxes just like everyone else, and therefore deserve the services just like everyone else in NYC. Plenty of the buses have riders not only to and from the ferry and their destination, but also riders along the route who get on and off between the end points. There is a degree of turnover of riders on the buses, because (a) I have seen it, and (b) I'm a part of it. During the discussion on Staten Island separating itself from NYC during the early 1990's, there was the discredited suggestion that Staten Island could not make it on its own financially. That suggestion was disproved in major ways, but the myth of it shows up every now and then. Not that Staten Island should separate - it would not change much, except bring in a new cast of cronies. What the transportation situation on Staten Island shows, and it can be said for the city as a whole - if a rail transit facility was not built and operated during the hey-day of transit building 1900-1930's it would not be built later. Witness the problems with the building of the Second Avenue subway and other facilities. Add in the shrinkage of transit over the decades as a factor, plus the love affair with the car. Mike |

From a previous message: "In fairness to DOT, it would have been a mess even if they used every ferry they had in use and in mothballs and borrowed boats from ferry services in the city."There are 3 Molinari class boats holding 4,400 riders - needing a crew of 17 each, 2 Barberi class boats holding 6,000 riders needing a crew of 16 each, 2 Austen class boats holding 1,280 riders - needing a crew of 10 each; and 1 Kennedy class boat holding 3,500 riders -needing a crew of 14 each boat. These are the boats of the ferry fleet, and at any one time one or more of these boats are out of service - repairs at the docks, maintenance, testing, the dry-dock work, etc. In recent months there have been problems with one or more of the Molinari class boats and Barberi class boats where the John F. Kennedy boat was used as a replacement. Often I am told that usually only one of the Austen class boats is in service, and the other one is used for parts. The repair and in service picture changes on a regular basis At the height of the rush hour schedule, 4 boats are used, usually the largest of boats: Molinari and Barberi type boats. During the periods when the boats run every 30 minutes - 2 boats are used, and when the hourly schedule is in effect - 1 boat is used. My point is that the DOT may have had at best 4 or 5 boats of the largest boats available between the Molinari-Barberi-Kennedy classes - in running condition. It is very rare for an Austen type boat to be used during the day times, but it has been done when paired with a Kennedy class boat to substitute for a Barberi type boat. Another point should be made, even if the DOT physically had the boats available in working condition, it may not have had the sufficient number of crew-men for each of the boats. These days there's more attention to the crews and the fitness of the crews for the boats - so less corner cutting. Corner cutting over time is what got them in trouble before. There may have been manpower issues in dealing with this day. Just a few thoughts. Mike |

So why should the state of New Jersey build something and subsidise something that people in another state would bendfit from?Actually, I would suspect that if the project goes ahead, it would be a NJT capital project operated by the NJT, with capital and operations funding by the MTA (and potentially from the PANYNJ). For what it's worth, NJT and the MTA work together on the Port Jervis line where the MTA essentially pays line improvement, rolling stock, and operating costs, while NJT runs the service for them. |

They would have more political clout in NJ and would certainly get better transit options quicker.For what it's worth, if Staten Island ends up being absorbed into New Jersey, it's going to end up being one of the largest municipal jurisdictions in the state, and potentially, the largest city in the state. Given Staten Island's traditional Republican leanings, this may rig politics slightly rightward in the State. Of course, it remains to be seen how property taxes would fare given that NYC property taxes are low, and some homes were built with a ten year tax abatement. In terms of transit, despite NJT's relatively productive capital programme over the past thirty years, past performance is certainly not indicative of future performance. Even if the project converts from an joint MTA-NJT project, it converts into a fully-funded NJT project that competes with a long list of projects on NJT's capital programme list. The MTA's capital expansion projects other than SAS and the Javits extension are basically capacity increases (ESA, LIRR third track), while NJT's projects are expansionary other than THE Tunnel, and there's the theoretical electrification plans to compete with. |

And AFAIK, they've already re-zoned St. George and Tompkinsville to allow for skyscrapers to be built so a future population increase is already on the books.That area has generally been higher density when compared with most of the island. A real shift to higher density would mean that you'd see apartment buildings on Hylan Boulevard or upzoned areas around existing SIR stations. I'd imagine that locals would freak out about an apartment building at the corner of say, Richmond Ave & Hylan Blvd. |

Or at least no zoning other than stuff like no adult entertainment near schools, etc. It seems to me that zoning in most cities tends to favor an autocentric model. Low density single family homes with no, or few, businesses except on the major streets. Residents then need cars to get around.Cities with no zoning or cities that grew before zoning have mixed use built in. Restaurants, stores, bars, churches, etc. are inside the neighborhood. That's a model for a livable city. |
