#lirr — Public Fediverse posts

Long Island City #LIRR Terminal in Queens is, arguably, the quietest of all #NYC 🇺🇸 rail termini. Only a few peak-time services originate, or terminate, here. I had to ask a local where the access was, after having passed the entrance several times, without noticing. A nice and surprisingly quiet place.

I think the #LIRR strike was basically like undoing #CongestionPricing. My kids' bus has returned to taking 1.5 hours each way rather than 45-60mins.

Now that the strike is over, let's hope traffic returns to normal. It would be a great time to raise the congestion pricing toll to its originally planned level, though. #NYC #MTA #NYS

Going from #Brooklyn to #Queens took me 2hrs 30mins with the #LIRR shutdown. It’s a completely miserable time to be getting around #nyc

New York's Long Island Rail Road strike halts one of the busiest commuter lines in the U.S. About 3,500 workers at New York's LIRR went on strike for the ‌first time in 32 years after failing to reach a wage agreement. The LIRR serves nearly 300,000 passengers daily and the strike comes ahead of the long Memorial Day weekend. #LIRR #LIRRstrike #strike #rail #nyc #longisland #live #Reuters #News Keep up with…

Change at Jamaica @mta #lirr

Gotta go see, it's been 2 yrs! Grand Central Terminal has been transformed into a station again, basically. New lowest level (for LIRR) has trains which pass through. Outside of Amtrak trains 71-91, all train lines started or terminated there, hence the name. *Grand Central Madison* [Station]; link is to art installations there.

RT @andrewsiff4ny NEW: after the #MTA hears complaints from #LIRR customers there’s nowhere to sit at the new $11B Grand Central Madison hub, they’ve added some seating as of today. Passengers have been told to limit their seating to 90 minutes. #NBC4NY
