Jones Beach service

Does anyone know how Jones beach service is? Who has taken one to Jones beach? I dont drive and I want to go.

You would take an LIRR most of the way and then transfer to a bus. But be careful out there. From what I'm reading this is probably the worst buses in New York. Plan your trip very wisely. Get a friend or family with a car to go.

I got no answer to this one. But I'll find out. Got to go before summer ends.

I have.... Once.... And will NEVER do it again.

 

There's one that runs out of LIRR Hicksville to JB, and LIRR Freeport to JB... neither one of them is to be desired.... I haven't been on them since they had the JB notation in front of the route #.... now they use the 'N' notation... don't remember the route #'s off top....

 

I took the one out of Freeport.... course it wasn't on time, course it was packed to the gills, course everytime the bus hit a pothole or w/e, my head kept hitting the roof of the bus (I was standing up).... course there was no AC on the bus..... luckily I didn't get light-headed; felt as if I was in a sardine can... just a bad experience all around that I'll never forget....

 

.....and the return trip... you talk about a bunch of savages bombarding a bus... good lord....

The N87 is not that bad depending on which one you catch, avoid the N88 as much as you can though next summer.

For Service To JB Take The LIRR To Freeport Or Hicksville And Get The N87 At Hicksville & Get The N88 At Freeport.
