"In February, LIRR President Helena Williams said the growth was also a result of improved on-time performance and job growth in New York City."

If you believe this you are a fool. We take LIRR because there is no alternative. And it is not the growing job market in NYC it is the shrinking job market on Long Island.

I don't know who is dumber, the person who made the comment or the journalist who printed it without question.

Statistics are like a bikini - you see alot but you don't see everything.
