In response to the release of the LIRR’s new TrainTime App with Capacity Tracker, Long Island Rail Road Commuter Council Vice Chair Gerard Bringmann said,
“This technology is a twin win for riders and the LIRR. Not only will it assist commuters in being better able to social distance by knowing where there is available space on train cars, the rail road will be able to get more accurate ridership numbers on all of their trains without the need to hire surveyors to count passengers.”
