A 'stress-free' commute to Bay Shore

As he departed the third shuttle to pull into Bay Shore from Queens about 6 p.m. Monday, Tracy Moore marveled that his commute was “surprisingly stress-free.”

The 4:30 a.m. shuttle to Howard Beach to his job repairing tracks for the New York City Transit Authority, and the 4:30 p.m. shuttle back to his Bay Shore home only added about 15 minutes to his commute in each direction, he said.

“It was definitely coordinated a lot better than I thought it would be,” Moore, 58, told Newsday. “The traffic wasn’t as bad as I was anticipating. Fingers crossed it'll be just as easy tomorrow.”
