Not myself..but some people can not drive. My neighbor has plenty of money but can not drive due to health reasons. Some do not want to drive illegally either. Sad that many do especially on LI where public transportation is pretty bad.

My brother can't drive because he is blind. Would you still like to have them on the road with you.

No but he doesn't complain about the transportation in the suburbs every other month does he?

Break-Ins At Westbury Schools

And even the LIRR, on Tuesday, said service was running on a normal weekend schedule west of Hicksville in the afternoon, yet the trains that served Westbury never came as other trains just breezed by, even though the signs said "on time" and there were announcements that repeated that and service was restored west of Hicksville on the Huntington branch. After 90 minutes of waiting, eventually a train stopped. Then later that night, the Westbury train never came at Jamaica, they never called the track or said it was cancelled. And of course Ronkonkoma, Babylon, Long Beach,etc trains came and went on time. Another train, a half hour later, was shown on the board as stopping at Westbury, but then as the doors closed at Carle Place, it was announced the next stop was Hicksville. I had to use the emergency intercom to communicate with the conductor, who said we weren't scheduled to stop at Westbury, next stop Hicksville even after I told her the train before us never came! The engineer must've overheard us and did stop at Westbury.
Then today they never even had a pathway cleared at the station and everyone crossing the street from the Village Lot had to climb over these mounds of snow! Is this retribution from Cuomo/NY State for fighting the casino?


It just seems kind of odd that the LIRR would restore service and then have so many trains skipping Westbury. Then again I remember after Sandy when the Ronkonkoma Line was restored...they skipped Westbury and we were left without any train service, while trains passed by. This is akin to a half empty bus just driving by the bus stop that you are waiting at.
Kinda annoyed me more than anything NICE has ever done.
will you just move out already. Or be quiet and take n22 to LIRR Hicksville.
