LIRR and Amtrak lack of maintenance (Hempstead: trains, budget, post office)

I wish I could.

On a side note, the LIRR is providing buses into Manhattan during the Penn maintenance. Seriously, they expect me to sit in a bus?

there use to be (could still be around) a bus service that went from Roslyn/Manhasset to Midtown/Downtown. I read there was even wifi on the bus. Same price as LIRR ticket.


To be practical, bus service can't replace LIRR service for the whole summer. It would be a giant mess.

Not In Service.

on the platforms completion by September 2017, along with refurbishment $142 million!

So in the grand scheme of LIRR disrepair we think that radiant heating installation is one
of the HIGHEST priority items.

OUCH

Boy am I glad we don't rely on LIRR or public transit on LI anymore. To pay $400 month for crappy service. Nuts. LI as a whole (not just LIRR) is so far gone in so many ways just in last year alone.

This is what happens when you have too much neglect on infrastructure. Just look at NICE bus for instance, most of their buses are falling apart and don't have A/C, and if they do use the A/C, they would end up breaking down due to damaged engines and dirty radiators. NICE now has a fairly new bus fleet with most buses being built between 2008-2016. Only 2 buses are older (2004) , so NICE really cannot use the whole " MTA Long Island bus didn't take care of their equipment". Apart from the Orion VII NG CNGs, most MTA-era buses in the NICE system have been retired.

Has anyone heard if this will impact service from LI into Jamaica? My concern is the PJ line and Airtrain connections.
