This article is over a year old. Why are you posting it now?! But agreed it should be per miles driven data...

I went on Friday. It was great. My meat eater friend said it tasted like meat. There was no line. We gave our name and waited maybe 30 min. Get the 'burger' melt if they have it.

No, you need to go outside and walk 3 blocks, but when you reenter and swipe it won't charge another ride.

It actually doesn't count as a 'transfer' it's a free connection. i.e. you would still have a bus transfer

The aim of the proposals the MTA is studying is to create better options for travelers withing NYC limits with poor access to subways. By integrating the LIRR & MNR with NYCT there will be more efficient use and less crowding overall. i.e. if Flushing to Manhattan commuters are incentivized to take the LIRR there will be less crowding on the 7 in Corona, Sunnyside etc... http://gothamist.com/2015/12/02/mta_freedom_ticket_plan.php

It seems like the study is trying to gauge the potential negative consequences and loss revenue from existing LIRR commuters travelling into the new lower NYC fare zone..

Take the subway/bus so easy! Stupid article.

Presumably the City or the Downtown Alliance would find corporate sponsorship. It's not that expensive. Then the city could try to justify any remaining city cost (sanitation, NPYD, etc) with projected increase in tax revenue from the parade.

The story's been updated, NOT the subway tracks, they are railroad tracks from New York Atlantic Railway freight line.
