LIRR Service Near-Normal For Monday Commuters

MTA advises a 'kiss and ride' strategy until all parking lots are cleared.

Commuting on the Long Island Rail Road may be the least stressful way to get to work or around town today given continuing complaints about unplowed roadways and icy road conditions.

The MTA is reporting that the LIRR is operating near-normal weekday service as of Monday morning though it’s still issuing an advisory that riders should expect some delays and suggesting commuters build in extra travel time.

Monday evening’s rush hour service should be a normal schedule with no planned cancellations though service remains suspended east of Speonk and Ronkonkoma and bus service is being provided between Greenport and Ronkonkoma.

While a large majority of train station parking lots have been cleared the MTA is also reporting not all are open to parking and advise commuters to ‘kiss and ride’ if possible by getting a lift to the station.

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.
