Transit officials made some changes to LIRR timetables on Monday, but riders are still upset that their one-seat ride turned into one that requires a transfer in Queens.
But the changes were not enough for some Long Islanders who said they were upset about transferring at Jamaica Terminal in Queens for a commute that used to offer a one-seat ride to or from Penn Station in Manhattan.
In the race to make a transfer at Jamaica on Monday evening, one woman fell down a set of stairs. She declined to give her name — but said she missed her connection, and would have to wait another 40 minutes at the Queens terminal. MTA officials on Monday said the longer trains would help reduce crowding on the LIRR, and noted the changes reduced peak headways from 12 to eight minutes on trains running to or from Atlantic Terminal, where riders saw the biggest cuts from last week’s changes.
