Long Beach to Add Buses if LIRR Strikes

Buses will bring riders to Far Rockaway subway station if strike comes.

Extra buses will depart from Long Beach if Long Island Rail Road goes on strike next week.

In a message from City Council Vice President Fran Adelson, the City of Long Beach will offer addition buses if LIRR officials and unions cannot come to an agreement before a strike begins July 21.

Extra buses will be added to both the East End and West End loops at no additional charge. They will bring riders to the Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue A Train subway station.
