The E train from Jamaica to the east side is not 25 min. Plus you reduce crowding on the E train from Queens into the city for those going to the east side. The East side of Manhattan has always been a complicated connection from Penn Station. The article does not account for waiting for the transfers to other trains. It’s expensive and we should learn lessons. It’s also muted now that the everyday work force has dwindled. They need to connect Brooklyn and queens and the Bronx (outer boroughs) better.

St Patrick’s isn’t a real holiday.. they have no idea over there wtf we are celebrating on that day. Also it’s about student populations. The south Asian population is quite large in the north east. Cities up and down the east coast close schools for Diwali. No point keeping a school open if there aren’t any students. Diwali is celebrated by billions worldwide..
