Nassau cab companies to take LIRR passengers to their cars
Nassau cab companies to take LIRR passengers to their cars for free
2004 March 11 MERRICK - Nassau cab companies have begun a free service to
drive LIRR riders to their nearby parked cars for free.
The program is an effort to insure the safety of commuters who often come
home late at night. Many commuters fear for their safety when they have to walk
across a dark or secluded parking lot to get to their car.
According to the taxi companies, a recent increase in violence at local train
stations prompted the start of the program. One such act of violence is the brutal
murder of Anthony Battaglia. Battaglia was shot, stabbed and killed while walking
home from the Lynbrook train station in September of 2003.
The free taxi service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at the
following train stations: Lynbrook, Mineola, Hempstead, Merrick, Freeport, Island
Park, Hewlett, Rockville Centre, Port Washington and Little Neck.
