I’m doing a write up on how poor the connection is between Metro-North and Bee-Line. Even some of the high ridership lines (once an hour) have zero coordination with Metro-North. Not only is it expensive, it’s inconvenient!

Do you have any idea how many trains the station sees each day? It's interesting to see the delta in how nice a station is and how much service it gets

The closest to this we have is the ends of R211 transits where there's a lean to one of the walls. Personally I like it but I wonder what the average NYer thinks about it

And yet my 311 complaint about this issue this morning was closed without anyone taking a look (I was staring at a car parked there). I live about a mile from the Ridgewood fire, too…

I totally agree. The trick is getting as much of the infrastructure to be as inoperable as possible (e.g.: the height and length of platforms). In practice, it looks like it’s pretty difficult.

Yes. The the origin-destination dataset gives averages between station pairs by hour and day of week. You can roll that up to the total system averages.

I see a lot of cars parked on the sidewalk, especially outside of firehouses, so it could definitely cause damage but shouldn’t be impossible

It’s crazy the differences in station quality on the cumana. Edenlandia versus this new station is night and day. I didn’t know there was modernization going on for the cumana. Better late than never!

Ah you’re right. I was thinking of the lines as a whole.

Metro-North’s main artery between Grand Central and Fordham should cross the line, too. It’s around 250K riders per day split in 3 branches.

That being said, I’m encouraged that there’s a contingency plan in place. Providing SOME service in 2017 will be nice — even if there’s a ton of incompetency involved behind the scenes

They should be done, at a minimum, when repaving/fixing existing infrastructure. It’s insane that we don’t have even a medium-term vision to do these things

The geographic divide in this is fascinating! I definitely would not have expected the Center+East v. West divide. I wonder if government attitudes are part of the reason for official differences - many riders note the difference between the official and in practice boarding procedures
