	MTA Derails Rockaway LIRR Plan
		Closed in the 1950’s, the LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch would provide trains that will go from the Rockaways, JFK Airport and Lefferts boulevard to Penn Station and later to Grand Central Terminal, when a new rail line opens in 2010.
		The Rockaway Transit Coalition also pointed out that the survey does not take into account new passengers the service would attract and the MTA’s estimated cost of $875 million is far greater than the $78 million proposed in the Apple Corridor plan.

		Because there are a million bus routes feeding into it from the extremely large area of Queens that goes without subway service.

		When the subway was extended to Jay St. 2-1-33, it operated there too, at the same times, when the A didn't run, and terminated at Chambers when the A did run.
		Rush hour service had been simulated twice on Saturdays, the first time, the previous spring, with the V (marked "S") running through 63rd and the F through 53rd, and the G also running to 179, to see if the G could be kept.
		The next project is the new interlocking system on the IND portion of the Culver line, which may see the V extended, and express service resume, at least between Church and Jay St. After that, the next project is the new South Ferry Station, which will now cause years of IRT service changes.
