I can relate, I chose to drive (at higher cost financially but better for me mentally). That is why I always knee jerk jump at these "45 mins by LIRR comments." It's totally misleading and false. Practically silly.

Hat's off to anyone doing LIRR commute. Been there done that, don't want the T-shirt.

And if you drive to the station there is nothing worse than getting off the train and seeing a busted car window.

I had someone try and tell me with the new Moynihan station people won't mind commuting again. I asked him who his dealer was.

you say this as if it's a problem common to LIRR parking lots.

Happens more than you think. I have been lucky, but see a broken window atleast once a month in the lot.

caused by what? some weirdo going around with a bat? birds? Does it happen more in LIRR lots vs. the lot at say, Target? I commuted via LIRR for years and never noticed this.

The new Moynihan is really nice though!

It doesn’t make up for the crappy service & rapey prices but it’s better than what we had & maybe the Grand Central ppl will be a lil jealous now

I went from Hicksville took an express not to bad, I'm never doing it again. My job is talking about going back in September. Many on my team said no chance and they floated a 2 day in person 3 weeks a month. I told my boss if that's what we end up being forced to do see you 11-3:30 those days and I'm using my company CC to pay for parking. I'm in BK so the drive isn't to bad. He agreed since he thinks a recall is dumb. 14 people 12 take LIRR/MN all said no way we getting on a train.
