How about doing that every Erev Shabbos and YomTov,and extending that courtesy and service on the A,D,F and other subway lines!
Well let me tell you there are many Frum Jews that ride The LIRR to many of there destinations including myself who found this out. There are extra trains for all other Holiday weekends so to there are for Rosh Hashanah. There are 2 or 3 Daf Yomi Shiurim on the Far Rockaway branch to N.Y.C.and have there own cars and there was a siyum as well on the train. So there are alot of Jews who ride the LIRR and it’s a very nice thing they did.
