She spent $900 on ride share fares

Steika Artciste, 23, of Ronkonkoma, said she spent over $900 in ride share app fares to get to work the past three days.

The United Airways flight attendant works out of Newark Airport and said her recent flights were too late in the day to take a shuttle.

This was the first time she took the shuttle since service was suspended, she said.

“I'm up early because I don't want to get late to the airport,” she said, having arrived at the Ronkonkoma station to take the 6 a.m. shuttle Tuesday. “I’m not even supposed to get there til 1 p.m.”
