Free Cab Rides On LI Service Is Available At Ten Stations MERRICK, N.Y. (AP) Nassau cab companies have begun a free service to drive Long Island Rail Road riders to their cars in the parking lot 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 was the 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. |
