So an LIRR union is mad that former New York Post owner/real estate titan/MTA chairman Peter Kalikow called the railroad "third-best" in the metro area. Yesterday, United Transportation Union general chairman Anthony Simon drafted a letter responding to Kalikow's comments to a Newsday columnist that the LIRR "is the third-best railroad in the metropolitan area" behind Metro-North and the city's subway system.
Instead of trying to move up in Kalikow's personal rankings by improving service or cleaning the cars better or preventing more people from falling through gaps, the union's head wrote a letter:
"I must say, it took me hours to calm down before being able to gather my thoughts and deliver them to you," [United Transportation Union general chairman Anthony] Simon wrote.
"Hours"? So that's why our trains are always late!

Totally agre, the LIRR is just horrible.
After riding Metro North for 9 years this LIRR systems is a nightmare.
Thanks LIRR for always running late, for the broken trains, for the short trains during rush hour, for the workers who act like they should be in prison.
Thank you for allowing me to pay $280 a month for your crap service.
Monopolies are very good to you, you should thank god for that,
