Anyone who lives on Long Island or takes the LIRR will let out a bitter laugh at this article. > 90.7 percent of trains were on time in November, an improvement of 3.8 percent over last year The metrics used by the LIRR were so disconnected from reality that the state actually passed a law this year mandating that they had to adopt meaningful standards. https://www.newsday.com/long-island/transportation/mta-lirr-on-time-measurements-1.29259736 https://www.newsday.com/long-island/transportation/mta-lirr-... The entire LIRR system is plagued by cancellations and delays on a daily basis. There's nothing quite like standing on the train platform looking at the little digital sign that says, "the 7:08 to PENN is on time" while you look at your phone and see its 7:25 and the train is still nowhere in sight. https://twitter.com/LIRR https://twitter.com/LIRR
