Opposing views of an altered commute
Stacey Richards, a nurse from Massapequa Park, was at the Howard Beach-JFK train station Monday afternoon and said she was “exhausted” from the commute.
She had been awake since 2:30 a.m. to catch a 4:30 a.m. shuttle from Hicksville. A little after 4 p.m., she boarded a shuttle outside the station in Queens for the final leg of her journey.
Keith Skylan, 23, a train enthusiast from the Upper West Side, was on hand to document the events for his YouTube channel.
“As someone that actually likes riding Coach buses, I’ve found this ride to be a luxury for me,” he said.
