Long Island's Transportation Headaches..LIRR reverse peak




Title:
Long Island's Transportation Headaches..LIRR reverse peak

Description:
In this video I discuss some of my ideas for improving reverse peak LIRR service. The situation is especially tough for SUNY Stony Brook students, which have limited choices in trains. There are only two eastbound trains in the morning, and two westbound trains in the afternoon/evening. This makes some trains very crowded, and makes students miss classes, especially when they delay or reschedule our trains to accomadate peak travelers. I would add a new eastbound train in the morning arriving at Stony Brook at 8:35am and a new westbound train leaving Stony Brook at 5:15pm. The LIRR and MTA need to realize there is more than just "suits" riding the rails.
