I took the PATH this time instead of NJT, but I agree; NJT rolling stock is like LIRR was many years ago.<BR/> Getting back to the Isles-relevant issue; one thing I don't see mentioned in all the Lighthouse promotion, is what will be done to improve mass-transit access to the site. I don't drive and depend on the LIRR and LI Bus. Very often it is necessary to take one of the local cabs in order to catch the hourly train back home. <BR/> Hopefully the existing freight spur which comes off the Hempstead line just east of Garden City can be converted to a light rail system; it does not have a 3rd rail and I believe that it passes just north of the Coliseum; it can be extended most likely using land already part of the Hub. <BR/>BTW, I used the NJ light rail last year to attend a concert at NJPAC; it is coordinated with the concert schedule. Concert let out at 10:25; I was home in Brooklyn before 12:30! Could have made it even earlier, but I wanted a snack before getting on the subway from NY-Penn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
