With my newly acquired 1/2 fare senior pass....I'm using the LIRR from East Flushing almost exclusively now.
Penn Station is "....only 23 minutes from Broadway....think of the changes it brings......oh the short time it takes....what a difference it makes...."!
Thank you George M. Cohan, for allowing me to employ your song lyrics!
Who the hell wants to board the always crowded #7 at that filthy, stinking and congested downtown Flushing transportation hub?
Would it not be nice if someone would put together a proposal for a comprehenisve transportation network for NYC that would make congestion pricing a meaningful alternative?
Now put togther a proposal that would embrace an increase of a million.
Now put a price tag on proposal one and two.
Now where is Queens Civic Congress to push this?
Oh yes, lest make sure the public knows who is going to pay for it all, too!
Why don't they have a 'developer' tax, so it you put up a project, you have to 'buy' so many subway seats, school desks, hospital beds, firemen, etc.
