Reply to comment by [deleted] in Tired of parking placard abuse? The DOT is holding a public hearing on some new rules that target parking placard abuse in loading zones on the 7th, and there aren't nearly enough comments. You can comment on the site, via email, or attend the hearing. by ThoolooExpress

My commute to work is 30-40 mins with a car. Two hours via a bus and train. From queens to bk

Interborough Express will change that, having a line from Jackson Heights to Bay Ridge

Interborough express will do next to nothing for the majority of people living in Queens. There’s only 5 stations in queens in the proposed line, with 14 in Brooklyn. Unless you live around the are that they are building the line, it will likely still be faster to go through Manhattan for a lot of Queens to Brooklyn trips.

Look at how big Queens is. There are large parts of Queens that are a massive transit desert (for example East of Flushing Corona Park or Around LGA). How will 5 stations fix any of that?

Obviously that’s not enough, there needs to be more subways in Queens, such as an A train extension on Liberty Ave or a 7 train extension to somewhere on the former CRRLI Main line
