didn't do this when it ran LIB. you had to buy a monthly LIRR and buy a monthly metrocard on top of it, maybe a slight discount on the metrocard. I always thought should have given you a free transfer to LIB, you pay so much for a LIRR ticket and they couldn't even give you a free bus ride before/after. If they screwed LIB rides out of an additional 2.25 after a LIRR ride and they controlled LIB why would they play ball with SCT? Riders would live a unipass or for SCT to take metrocards but I have a feeling would want to keep a majority of the money.

 

When exactly did Unitickets become available for LIB? And why did they play ball with HART and Long Beach then?

As far as metrocards go does the MTA still take money from the NICE or Bee-Line fares that get paid in metrocard?

Souffolk Officals seem to have a love hate relationship with the MTA. Currently I believe its still in hate mode over the Payroll tax a few years ago, and the lack of service to the East End with the LIRR.

 

well if they want to act like brats over it who loses? everybody because both organizations lose riders and those who want to use it have to sit in traffic, and those who would drive anyway have more cars on the road to deal with.

Also, would it be such a tragedy for SCT to play nice with the MTA and let you buy a uniticket with the monthly for the railroad, because theres plenty of people who use both now and i feel like its a huge deterrant that keeps commuters from using the bus. Or is this the MTAs fault you cant get a Uniticket for SCT?

they need a bus lane on 110 for the crush loaded s1.

or an s1 express

or something that would make the buses less then a half hour late every day.
