Official MNRR/LIRR Short & Long Term Plans and Proposals-now & 2050

[Far Rock Depot]

Most of the express runs make the stops north of Stamford while the locals end at Stamford. And those new stops will only add a couple of minutes. The new stops are a response to the increase in ridership over the last few years.

And if you think bout it, when ridership in an area increases, theres really no such thing as "too close together" as long as the two stations arent a train length apart. Otherwise, the Far Rockaway line stations would be considered too close together. 

[Vistausss]

So the fact that the express now stops at stations north of Stamford is a guarantee that it will still be the same when these new stations open? If so, please show me your magic ball because I want to predict the future too!

That's not a fair comparsion. Far rockaway is nowhere near the trip length of New haven. The entire far rockaway branch distance on the New Haven doesn't even leave new york.

most off peak trains stamford express make all stops north of stamford.

Which is exactly what he said. But he said it's no guarantee that just because they do it now, they'll do it in the future.

I am not exactly a bus advocate I am a bit of a mix. I've been to westchester airport that area is dead after a certain time. However Such a rail line can kill off the merrit parkway's significance. Not all so called bus advocates smack down rail proposals. Actually I have a preference for rail. But am not exactly a master of it. I do think SEPTA would get more riders if their peak express trains through routed express in the reverse directions to reach business parks such a move would drastically increase NJT philly bound lines rail and bus(philly bound). MNRR well transforming the branch lines into LRT or splitting em may increase service. If they don't find a way to improve the waterbury line then they are better off running buses. But the branch lines other than new cannan get ignored it's sad.

 

Not all bus advocates smack down rail proposals without reason. Some advocate for rail as well.

I honestly think your an idiot , what does the Parkway system have to do with the proposed LRT?     That doesn't even make sense ....   Buses are banned from the Parkway system which is overcapacity anyway....something everyone knows.       Doesn't appear you have a preference for Rail , always bus this and bus that...     The MNRR doesn't need to transform the Branch services into LRT they just need to upgraded , transforming them into LRT would be a waste and time consuming journey.

really Isn't that what folks here think you are? I meant the LRT will take cars off the roads as they won't need to use the parkways as much. I have preference for the fastest mode bus or rail. Keep the insults to a minimum boy.

[Vistausss]

LMAO. Qj calls Nexis a 'boy' even though they're about the same age. A bit of respect, Qj.

 

Yes, LRT would be really nice and would get people out of their car. But it's too expensive. is already in a hard financial situation that got even worse after Sandy so LRT is not an option right now. Maybe in 30 years when they have more money but not right now.

in 30 years the population would have urbanized that area forcing LRT to work where it doesn't now.

Why can't there be a set of Metro North cars that have the color green?

I guess it would not make sense to give us some Metro North Cars that can be colored green. To me its like..less confusion. I mean, look at the subway map. The Connecticut lines are red, as well as some m1/m2/m3/m4/m8 cars.

The Harlem Line is blue, as are some of their rail cars. Why can't there be green ones? Lol :/

The IRT is already red-green. Life is hard for us colorblind people already

If you want a new fleet of trains make them yellow or something. Just not green.

The day LRT gets to Long Island before we have rail service in the outer boroughs is the day the MTA's leadership is all sacked at once for acting so stupidly.

 

Also, no one cares if the thing goes fast if it only shows up once every half hour or so. This is why you fail to understand why LIRR ridership isn't that high where bus+subway is available.

I am talking about LIRR deep in suffolk dude.

[Nexis4Jersey]

I am talking about LIRR deep in suffolk dude.

Suffolk is getting DMU trains for the Montuak and Greenport Branches , Service will be Bi-directional every hour.    Light Rail badly needed in Nassau , Queens and Brooklyn but Suffolk doesn't need it.

[bobtehpanda]

I am talking about LIRR deep in suffolk dude.

 

 

DMU =/= LRT...

[qjtransitmaster]

 

DMU =/= LRT...

I read it somewhere it wasn't my idea anyway but wouldn't smaller trains in the east end be cheaper to operate?

[bobtehpanda]

Yes, but that's not the issue here....

 

You're confusing a type of equipment (diesel multiple units) with a type of rail transit (light rail transit)

If you're going to talk about something at least know what you're talking about...
