I currently commute in on the LIRR everyday and man is it rough. I'm pretty sure my train is delayed more often than on time. I usually give my mom a call in the morning just to say hi and check in. When my train does arrive on time she will go, "Oh you're early today". I fear it could really hurt the economic activity of NYC. Take me for example, I like my job and I like the city, but I'm looking to work remotely or on Long Island rather than commuting. It's long but not so bad if everything is going well. The problem is the lack of consistency makes it unbearable. You never know when your train is going to be delayed and you're stuck on a packed train, or worse, stuck in Penn Station for an unknown amount of time. Life is too short to spend it like that.
