Working mom commuting from Port Washington NY, sharing the reality of this billion dollar debacle called ESA #LIRR #MTA

[Ariana Parasco @Aripara4]

This article is extremely well written and sums up all pain points facing @LIRR riders today

Catherine Rinaldi to step back as LIRR Interim President https://t.co/QCvMR6vBi3

Another late 552pm “express” train home from Penn to Port Washington. 47 minutes. So glad we moved to Port for it’s 36min express train commute! Thanks @MTA @LIRR

Another “express” 50 minute commute home from Penn to Port Washington tonight! Arriving late as always. Actual arrival was 6:43pm. Thanks @MTA @LIRR. @TheLIRRToday @PleaseFixLIRR @Aripara4 @Newsday

[Ariana Parasco @Aripara4]

Fare increases such a slap in the face when you can’t get basic reduced service RIGHT. @LIRR Penn to port train just pulling in almost 15 mins late!!!!

[Ariana Parasco @Aripara4]

@GovKathyHochul Your transit system is flawed, corrupt and inefficient. This message is utterly tone deaf. You’ve IGNORED the systematic issues with the @LIRR. Disgraceful leadership

[Atlantic Terminal Commuter @b_vd4pnc8brv]

East Side Access was an 11 billion boondoggle that will go down as the worst infrastructure project in human history. It represents the beginning of NYC’s decline as a global superpower; its metaphor of NY as a corrupt, broken gov’t @GovKathyHochul must go. @lirr must be defunded

[Rep. Anthony D’Esposito @RepDesposito]

Raising fares on @LIRR riders is precisely the wrong thing to do especially w/ record inflation. Instead of balancing their budget on the backs of commuters, the @MTA should work to solve their internal issues that allow the agency to hemorrhage money.

Nothing to see here @lirr just kids sitting on the floor
Nobody checks a ticket bc u cant get through #safety means zero fix the issue already that u created #lirr @mta #mta

[Jack Nierenberg @NierenbergJack]

It's happened. The MTA board has voted to increase the fares and eliminate essential discounts (Atlantic Ticket), all the while moving forward with congestion pricing. The @MTA is effectively holding everyday New Yorkers hostage while the rich and powerful continue to profit.

[Ariana Parasco @Aripara4]

Longer @LIRR train rides, padded train schedule and on top DELAYS/late trains every single day. Truly don’t understand why @GovKathyHochul isn’t holding anyone at the @MTA accountable for this nightmare.

[Ariana Parasco @Aripara4]

@LIRR But why is the color coding “yellow” if every single seat is taken in a car and it’s standing room for some customers?

[Robert W. Mann, Jr. @RWMann]

@skyfall48runner @PassengersUnite @Aripara4 @LIRR @AlfonsoReports @TheLIRRToday @lirrpain The @LIRR PROMISE of #ESA was GCT service ADDED to existing Penn Station service, NOT ALLOCATED, and NOT SUBTRACTED, and NOT LONGER RUNNING TIMES, NOT LONGER HEADWAYS, NOT UN-TIMED CONNECTIONS.

#ESA has been a PUMP & DUMP.

[Ariana Parasco @Aripara4]

@405_Taylor_Av @LIRR @AlfonsoReports @TheLIRRToday @lirrpain @PassengersUnite Truly did not improve any aspect of getting from point A to point B whatsoever.

[Ariana Parasco @Aripara4]

The @lirr FAILroad strikes again. 5:52 #Pennstation to port washington train standing room only in all cars. @AlfonsoReports @TheLIRRToday @lirrpain @PassengersUnite

[NYCitee @NyCitee]

Nothing but the finest @LIRR train for this peak 828am PW-Penn commute! Bonus on this warm morning - no air conditioning in the train cars! Thanks @mta!! @News12LI @TheLIRRToday @Aripara4 @PleaseFixLIRR

[Ariana Parasco @Aripara4]

New train, new things to complain about. 7:21 manhasset to Penn station standing room only in the FIRST car. But LIRR “eliminated” the crowding issue?

[Ariana Parasco @Aripara4]

The only person thrilled to ride the @LIRR 😂 #takeyourchildtoworkday

[Robert W. Mann, Jr. @RWMann]

@Aripara4 @LIRR @GovKathyHochul @TheLIRRToday @AlfonsoReports @lirrpain @PassengersUnite @MTA @nypost See my FB/TWTR posts, yesterday:

“Grand Central represents ‘less than 15% of LIRR's reported total ridership”, a testament to entrenched, delusional @MTA @LIRR #ESA demand forecasting and scheduling for its forever ‘Field Of Dreams’

Get out the hook, fire them @GovKathyHochul”

[Robert W. Mann, Jr. @RWMann]

@Aripara4 @LIRR @GovKathyHochul @TheLIRRToday @AlfonsoReports @lirrpain @PassengersUnite @MTA @nypost “Yet Lieber and Rinaldi refuse to re-allocate trains, schedules, and capacity to Penn Station and Atlantic Avenue where the continuing demand is evident, relegating Madison to shuttle service from Woodside and Jamaica, which is all that is warranted.”

[Robert W. Mann, Jr. @RWMann]

@Aripara4 @LIRR @GovKathyHochul @TheLIRRToday @AlfonsoReports @lirrpain @PassengersUnite @MTA @nypost “In a competitive industry, this would be self-defeating, business-destroying, and a firing offense.

Get out the hook. Fire them, Governor.”
