Shuttle buses will run through evening commute
Though hourly train service is set to resume at noon on the Babylon, Huntington, Ronkonkoma and Port Washington branches — with normal service scheduled to resume system-wide beginning at 4 p.m. — the LIRR peak- and reverse-peak shuttle buses will still run from 4:30 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, serving commuters impacted by the just-ended strike, officials said.
Peak direction service only will run from the railroad stations in Hicksville and Mineola to the Howard Beach-Kennedy Airport lot, as well as from Hempstead Lake State Park to Howard Beach-Kennedy.
Peak and off-peak shuttle buses will run between the LIRR station in Bay Shore and Howard Beach-Kennedy Airport, as well as between Huntington and Ronkonkoma and Jamaica-179th Street at Hillside Avenue.
Commuters can transfer to and from the A train at Howard Beach and the F train from Jamaica-179th Street.
