Long Island commuter bus company Hampton Jitney is gearing up for increased demand if the LIRR shuts down.
Vice President Andrew Lynch said Tuesday the company plans to operate about 30 round trips per day, with buses going between several stops in Eastern Suffolk and Manhattan.
“We will have all available drivers and vehicles in service and will add capacity where needed," Lynch said in a statement.
