Trainspotter Posted January 30, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2008 Metro North gets good grades from riders NEW YORK (AP) _ Metro North Railroad got good grades in a customer survey for trains running east of the Hudson River. The 93 percent overall favorable rating was one percentage point higher than in 2006, the railroad said. The New Haven Line made the biggest gains in customer satisfaction going to 88 percent from 85 percent the year before.

Harry Posted January 31, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 31, 2008 They do have one of the best on-time schedules in the country. I wish the subway was more like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebbieprops Posted February 3, 2008 Share #4 Posted February 3, 2008 Honestly, I'd take the subway over the Metro-North any day, simply because of the headways. About once or twice a week, I take the New Haven line to get from the Bronx to Westchester (either Mount Vernon or New Rochelle). To get a northbound train from Fordham Road on a weekday is not easy. They only run six times during rush hour, often more than 60 minutes apart (they run at 3:54, 4:43, 5:09, 5:53, 7:02 and 7:27). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you have to keep this in mind, a subway and a commuter railroad are different in terms of the service they provide. Subway has to be rapid and work on that concept. Commuter railroads have longer distances to travel so thats why. With a commuter railroad, you have to give yourself plenty of time and you have to learn how to time yourself well to get to a train. Timing is key when taking commuter rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
