📰 News we're reading

• MTA's shuttle‑bus backup plan could add an hour to commutes, test run shows (news12.com) — If LIRR workers strike next week, Hicksville would become a major shuttle-bus pickup point, with riders bused to Queens subways instead of taking the train. A test run from Hicksville to Howard Beach, then into Manhattan, took about 1 hour and 50 minutes—roughly an hour longer than the usual LIRR trip—meaning commuters may need to rethink schedules or even where they stay during the disruption.
