EE Broadway Local Posted February 3, 2010 Share #8 Posted February 3, 2010 What island? 67th Avenue means people who drive in from Nassau and Suffolk on the Island and park then use the subway. Though not in Queens, there seems to be a small lot at Euclid and Pitken Avenues . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilbluefoxie Posted February 3, 2010 Share #10 Posted February 3, 2010 its much easier for long islanders to take the LIRR in then get on the subway rather than drive all teh way to Queens and leave your car somewhere in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zman Posted February 4, 2010 Share #12 Posted February 4, 2010 I wouldn't dream about parking at 67th Ave because: 1) No express service at that station 2) Too many apartment buildings in the area. Apartments = bad parking. One can park at 179 and Continental if one doesn't mind walking a little bit and parking 3-5 blocks from the station. Citi Field commuter parking is also available for $4 per day. I wouldn't park at Briarwood-Van Wyck. Too many break-ins there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Briarwood there used to be a lot of break ins no more maybe you noticed there is a precinct inside the station now and many police officers park their personal vehicles in Briarwood now. There are always police cruisers patrolling the neighborhood 24/7 I get out the train station sometime 2 or 3 in the morning and there are police patrolling.

The problem of searching for somewhere to park to use mass transit results in a high probability of your car being broken in to...thanks to the wonders of "mass transit". Funny, ain't it?

I know two people who live in Briarwood, both have had their cars broken into within the past six months. There are still many times that I'll see broken glass on the ground where a break-in occurred. And that transit precinct has been there for quite a long time, it never stopped the thieves before.

Well you show me a neighborhood in the city that doesn't have car thiefs and your two friends who had their car stolen did it happen near the train station or in a residential part of Briarwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Glen Posted February 4, 2010 Share #18 Posted February 4, 2010 Unlike the DC Metro, the NYC Subway doesn't have many park and rides. I've heard of people from LI driving to one of the abandoned shopping center parking lots in the Rockaways and using the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbluefoxie Posted February 4, 2010 Share #19 Posted February 4, 2010 its just not practical to do that unless you live in Eastern Queens, even then, theres Express Buses and such that take you to Manhattan. For the amount of money in gas someones gunna spend driving to NYC just to hop on the subway, its probably cheaper to just take the LIRR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
