MTA takeover of Suffolk Transit? (Brookhaven, Albany: bus, commuter, money)

[Johninwestbury]

Suffolk County seems to be getting the short end of the stick with the MTA bailout. So now the county wants the MTA to take over their bus system.
I dont think an MTA takeover is a solution, however, Suffolk should recieve more transit funding from the state. I also find it ridiculous that Suffolk has no Sunday service, and has extremely poor service to Ronkonkoma, where service should be much better because its a busy commuter hub.

Couldnt agree more.

Suffolk desperately needs expanded hub and spoke.
Brookhaven needs express service and an Intermodal at 112.

Heres your shot Steve Levy.The Fed money is out there.
Hope you get it right, because it'll be a nighmare to retrofit later.
