While I agree there seem to be problems in the LB school district, I'm not sure this takes into…Read More account the financial reasons for opting for NCCC.

Bottom line re: LIRR is that people in suburbs who ride LIRR and Metro North are paying to subsidize…Read More the bankrupt NYC Subways and subsidize minority riders in the outer boros. Its the price we pay to not live in NYC. The subways charges a cheap fixed fare to subsidize low income NYC residents. Its a form of socialism.

The LIRR will provide bus service between Island Park and Lynbrook from 6AM until 11PM starting Wednesday, Nov. 7. The buses will make a loop between the Island Park and Lynbrook stations, stopping at Oceanside, E. Rockaway, and Centre Ave. Expected travel time between Island Park and Lynbrook is 30 minutes. During Peak travel, buses will run every 5-10 minutes. There will be longer intervals between off-peak departure times. Connections to train service can be made at Lynbrook.
