Luckily, I am still working from home Almost one year since my last LIRR ride and I do not miss it I think I may still have my March 2020 monthly ticket somewhere .... For those folks still riding the railroad on a regular basis and still purchasing a monthly pass, how can they justify significant c...

NY needs what other cities have -- A one-seat ride from Manhattan to LGA and JFK
The PA can build what they want, but if they keep raising the fare (I believe it is $7.75 just for the AirTrain), Uber and Lyft will continue to siphon away travelers

Keep In mind that chairs have feelings too. So just call them a “person of greater responsibility” so as not to insult the chair. Chairs need safe spaces Sorry -- You have run afoul of the PC police. Per son is no longer allowed. The correct phase is "individual of greater responsibility"...

ADL you used the term Janitor. If you want to be successful in management, you're going to have to learn to be more sensitive to a persons feelings. They are no longer called janitors, they are organic containment specialists. Yes, the Presidents of all agencies, the Chairman of the MTA, Board Memb...

Similar to the disability scandal, a few folks abuse the system and everyone gets penalized

The O/T story will not go away until reforms are in place.

Not a chance
Too may projects and not enough money to expand service

I'll bet the AirTrain from Shea/Flushing to LGA is built first

The guy retired, therefore his year end total is inflated by his sick, personal and vacation payouts. He was probably one to not refuse an hour of overtime, lived on the Rail Road because of it and it inflated his totals. So what? To earn the salary that he did, required hundreds of hours of overti...

How is it possible for someone to work an extra 10 hours per day, for 365 days?

We all know why he did it, but this has IG audit written all over it.

We all know why Mr. Caputo chose to work all of those hours How productive he was working all those hours without sufficient rest is up for debate What is not up for debate is that Junior would rather raise fares and taxes instead of working with the MTA to update its work rules.
