But we really should be moving toward a MetroCard for the LIRR by now. Zone payment structure we have now, but you swipe in at either the station or at the doors to the train.

Anyway, the Port Washington Branch where Great Neck Station is located is one of if not the best line in the system. I would feel lucky to be using it if I had a job in the city, that's why houses along it are in such high demand.
Me too actually re: punching. Otherwise I feel like 'why did I even bother buying the ticket?'

You have to admit, postings are so hard.

It's hard to really come across.

In person, for example, I'm much less serious. On line, I try to be moderate and fair.

We are all searching. We reach out here.

God Bless.

I know a few people who actually drives from great neck/kings point to manhattan everyday. Or you can hire a private driver too....its not unheard of.

which LIRR train schedule you take and even which car you sit in can differ in terms of how crowded it is.

haha, I know that feeling. The collect ticket process seems more lax than say 10 or 20 yrs ago.

Ticket collecting is seriously an antiquated system. They should move to a turnstile system....and fine fare evaders like $1000

back to the Great Neck situation. I like the houses of Kings Point and location is also pretty good.

However, I have a question that I need someone from Great Neck to clarify - are more Chinese/Asian people going to the North schools or is the increase all for South?

Also, I read an article online today that said:

“There is a marked downturn in the white population (which includes Persians) and a large increase in the Asian population.” from GN Public School comish James Dolan.

This is very alarming. Although I heard Persians leaving is good, the Asian going in is very troubling.

Do you have a thing against people of other races? If you do maybe living in a bubble would be the best thing for you.
