<p>[quote user="henry6"]</p> <p>Flushing out is a bad example....hassle to LaGuardia is just as bad or good as the LIRR to Penn Sta. But the truth is that Metroliner and Regional successor did the Eastern Shuttle in and Acela is doing well on its own. With the market driven pricing of Amtrak ticketing, the sooner you make your plans and reservations, the better the price! [/quote]</p> <p>My uncle lived at 159XX Station Road in Flushing. We could get to LaGuardia by car a lot quicker than we could get to Penn Station on the LIRR. And I took the train into the city practically every day whilst visiting my uncle. Moreover, I lived in New York for more than eight years and return practically every year to visit friends and family. I am not unfamiliar with NYC.</p> <p>The Eastern Shuttle was not done in. Eastern Airlines, along with many others, collapsed because it could not make the transition to a competitive air market. The shuttle was taken up by successor airlines. It still operates, although I am not sure that U.S. Airways calls it the shuttle anymore. In any case, U.S. Airways has hourly departures from LGA to DCA all day long, just like the shuttle.</p>
