LIRR is set to begin full service to Grand Central Madison, but riders on the Oyster Bay branch have complained that the MTA's new schedules have actually made their commutes longer and more difficult
"They made an already bad situation worse," said Glen Cove City Councilwoman Danielle Fugazy Scagliola, a commuter herself who said she has spoken to the MTA about less trains and longer transfer times at Jamaica.
With the new schedule taking effect Monday, the Oyster Bay branch will have 10 percent more trains — but commuters say that’s not nearly enough to make their travel times shorter. "Dramatically inconvenient, it almost doubles the time of my commute home," said Glen Cove commuter Dino Velentzas.
