Getting around the New York area will be more difficult for those who rely on mass transit. The Long Island Rail Road, which has 700 miles of track and averaged more than 350,000 passengers a day, is cutting services amid the coronavirus pandemic in an attempt to financially recover from the drop in passengers across the Metropolitan Transportation Authority system.
Members of the LIRR Commuter Council are concerned the cuts to the service could cause crowding for riders, according to a report from New York-area news outlet News 12.
