Just to straighten some things out:
First off, I do not, nor have I ever, worked for the LIRR, MTA, Port Authority, or any other public transportation agency. All of my knowledge originates from my first hand observation of what goes on during any typical day on the LIRR from a commuter's point of view. I ride the LIRR (a lot) and I pick up most of my information by simply observing what goes on around me. Everything else is either picked up from information and documents made publicly available on the MTA's website or from information others have kindly provided to me.
Second, this site is in no way affiliated with the Metropolitan Transportation Agency, Long Island Rail Road, or any other agency like that. The MTA does not approve of nor endorse any content published there. Any information provided here is not proofed by the MTA, so if you interpret something said here in error, it is not the MTA's fault.
While I do strive to be as accurate as possible in my postings, sometimes things slip by. Writing for The LIRR Today is not my full time job, by any means, so I cannot devote hours and hours to writing, checking, and verifying every last detail in my posts.
I never intentionally post incorrect information, and when I am unsure about a particular fact I always try to remain ambiguous and not definitely state one opinion or another as fact. I am not the
New York Times, the
Boston Globe, or the
Chicago Tribune, nor do I claim to be. It’s just one person trying to run the whole show as a mere hobby.
If you notice any specific errors, let me know so I can fix them and not make the same mistake next time. You can let me know here or by using the
contact form linked at the bottom of every post.
No one's forcing you to click the links. Don't want to read the pots? Don't click them. It's simple as that...
But in the end, the only post in this entire thread that is even remotely on topic was the second one. I ask again, do you have anything to contribute to the discussion?
