Some
Maps Proposed for a Nassau Hub/Central Nassau Transit System
The presentations by
the study team conducting the Nassau Hub
Major Investment Study (MIS) refer to a "core system"
and a "full system." The core system refers to a small
"loop" serving the Hub area (shown in green on the map
below). The full system is a more extensive system (additional
thick red, blue and light blue routes), with a greater number
of connections to existing transit, establishing links between
the southern Babylon and West Hempstead Branches of the LIRR and
central and northern LIRR Branches (Oyster Bay, Hempstead, Ronkonkoma
and Port Jefferson). (Orange and thin red and lines are existing
LIRR lines.)

As part
of the original Hub study commissioned by the Nassau Veterans
Memorial Coliseum Privatization Committee, the New York Institute
of Technology developed maps for two different technologies of
Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) or "people mover" systems.
