Dennis Madsen of Lindenhurst took the shuttle back from Howard Beach to the Bay Shore train station. He was just one of two passengers on the bus.

“It was quiet,” Madsen chuckled.

He also took the shuttle in the morning, which took about an hour. Madsen said he takes the train to his work in downtown Brooklyn five days a week and said he’s “very happy” that he can take the LIRR into work Wednesday morning.

“It helps me a lot,” Madsen said. “I don’t have to get up earlier to go in, so it’s better.”
