There's no difference in crime in Suffolk, Nassau, or NYC. Subway, bus, LIRR. Same crimes but different locations. Just my opinion. Your opinion may be different. Carry on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted February 17, 2022 Share #2155 Posted February 17, 2022 @paulrivera Didn't you take LIRR from Penn to Brooklyn via Jamaica to avoid using the subway due to crime, well looks like there was a shooting on the LIRR. Surprised one wouldn't feel safe on the line, during the daytime hours it's one of the safest lines cause of how busy it is so the odds of becoming a victim of crime on that line is low IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Bronx I'm good because I know the line like the back of my hand. You don't really see suspicious looking people hanging out on the platforms. Also, that LIRR shooting was in the middle of the night and was a targeted crime, not a random attack. line in Manhattan.... I'm not there yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted February 20, 2022 Share #2158 Posted February 20, 2022 LIRR is cross honoring this weekend between Penn and Jamaica so if anybody wanna ride the Bi Level trains powered by the DM30 for free, this is your chance. Just make sure to have the Subway train G.O loaded on your phone in case the C/R thinks you're lying about the cross honoring. Did a round from Penn to Jamaica and back, dual mode each way. Was cool to be on an Dual Mode that stopped at Woodside. Most if not all diesel/dual mode runs skip Woodside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like $9.25 I just checked, it's even more crazy than that. Zone 9 to 14 $13.50 https://new.mta.info/document/19751. They've also added color, which is nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted March 1, 2022 Share #2165 Posted March 1, 2022 Notice how they don't even mention the cheaper ticket programs. (For example, one-way off-peak Zone 1 - Zone 1 or Zone 1 - Zone 3 are still listed as $6.50 and $7.75 respectively, despite the $5 CityTicket being valid during all off-peak periods). And of course, the Atlantic Ticket prices are nowhere to be found. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted March 3, 2022 Share #2168 Posted March 3, 2022 Do you think that the MTA will create/allow Joint LIRR - MNRR tickets after east side access opens? Some possible examples: Fordham - Jamaica Mineola - White Plains 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some possible examples: Fordham - Jamaica Mineola - White Plains While were on this topic, I wonder if the MTA will reprogram the TVM currently at GCT where you can buy both LIRR and MN tickets from the same machine. Any LIRR station to Yankees - E153rd would be an good combo ticket as there's a lot of Yankee fans on LI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean this is an agency that allowed you to buy peak tickets throughout the pandemic, and even keeping a big warning in the app telling you when off peak tickets are not accepted well into 2020 It would make way too much sense to simplify the tariffs for the commuter railroads, but the would prefer you try to comprehend which ticket is the best ticket you should buy when going from Atlantic Terminal to Rosedale: Peak Off Peak CityTickets with minimal explanation Atlantic Tickets, which is the same as CityTicket except it allows you on peak trains I swear the railroad is begging you to just press peak/off peak and ignore the other options. For a while I believe the MTA had AT under deal and packages, not sure if they moved that now Edited March 3, 2022 by Mtatransit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Prendergast ever even took a LIRR train while he ran that division. Mindless, out-of-touch, Manhattan-centric beancounters. That's all him and his executive team at the railroad ever were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted March 4, 2022 Share #2173 Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Apparently the MNRR employees don't know that CityTicket launched earlier this week for off-peak service. I decided to use it this morning to get into Grand Central. Train wasn't crowded at all coming from Riverdale and the conductor that originally checked my e-ticket nodded his head and then came back and asked me if that was actually a CityTicket and I told him that the program just started earlier this week. He had no idea. lol I may make this a regular thing when I need Grand Central since they are restoring a lot of trains later this month on the Hudson Line.
