If you don't want to walk that block, you could :

-Take the (B44) to the Nostrand Ave train Station to Penn Satation.

-Take the (B41) to the Jay Street-Metrotech (A)/ station, take the to Penn Station

-Take the to Atlantic, ® to to Metroech, to Penn Station

-Take the to Grand Central, to Times Square, or to Penn Station.

 

It's far easier/quicker to just take the to Herald Square.

That was awesome, thank you

The trip from Brooklyn College to Penn Station under the current #1-2-3 Fast-Track program - has a very simple travel alternative.

 

This travel alternative involves the #2 or #5 in Brooklyn, and the Q-train. Simply change at the Atlantic Avenue - Pacific Street station between the #2 or #5 trains, and the Q-train. This alternative works for either direction - going to Manhattan or traveling back to Queens.

 

Take the Q-train to 34th Street-Herald Square, and walk along 33rd or 34th Streets one block (from Sixth Avenue to Seventh Avenue), and enter Penn Station.

 

The current Westside Fast-Track on the #1, #2 and #3 lines actually has some of the easiest alternative routes, compared to the other Fast-Track programs.

Yes the Q train is a good alternative. Thanks. I forgot about that route because I usually sit in the 2 train right until penn station.

But the Q train would require me to get out of the station and walk 1 block and at 11 PM, I'm not sure how safe that is!! But, atleast for this week - i am open to trying this alternative.

Also, since the 5 is going to run late night, I won't have any issues I believe - I will transfer to the 2 at Nevins street(uptown)

No problem! Just check on planned service changes on mta.info and you'll find all the info you need there..

Yes, I did check the mta changes but nothing was mentioned about the 5 train from flatbush avenue/brooklyn college to atlantic avenue . so I was wondering if the 5 train would run or the shuttle buses would run(or may be i missed it)

Thanks again.

Yes, the is running at night this week.

The only way I see FasTrack flawed is it beginning at 10 PM as opposed to a bit later.

EXACTLY! 10 PM is still a lot of people on the subway. Anyway, I'm glad this will get done soon rather than a 1 or 2 month thing.

So no 1,2, 3 train for this whole week night, isn't it?

I need to get from Brooklyn College(2,5) to penn station ( 10 30 pm). So does this mean the 5 will run at night(usually only the 2 runs on that route late night)?

I'm sorry for such a naive question:o
