The picture in my mind this created actually made me laugh out loud.
Here's a nice shot of Thomas Prendergast (did you know he was a Cuomo appointee?) and Andrew Cuomo encouraging Anthony Simon to "Shaddup Already!!!" and accept the 17% raise over 6.5 years instead of 6 years!
Ah, the skillful negotiation and teamwork brings tears to my eyes!
What are you talking about its already over $16 for a peak fare to Zone 10 (ronkonkoma, pt. jeff, patchogue)
obviously I was referring to zone 4 or 7 since most LIRR riders are from Nassau.
In the winter, LIRR blames the abnormally cold weather impacting the service. So what is the summer excuse? The Hamptonites are overloading their capacity?
Did you hear they are raising fares again next year after Cuomo said they couldnt? Arrrgh agree on the breakdowns and usual train cruddiness
Cuomo said they couldn't raise fares because of the new union contract, but the MTA found another way to raise fares via an "unforeseen budget shortfall" in another area of the budget or some other such nonsense. The MTA always wins!

Thats why some of the highest ridership stations (not branches) are Ronkonkoma, babylon and huntington... all zone 9 and 10s.
