Well, among the various carve-out proposals is this:
Free subway transfers for those commuting from 18 Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road stations in the Bronx and Queens
Presumably this would make transit a more realistic option for those living in "transit deserts" beyond the reach of the subway that nonetheless have LIRR or Metro North stops.
