How to take the bus ... to the train station bus
Suffolk commuters will have fewer options than those from Nassau to commute to and from New York City without a car if the LIRR shuts down.
Unlike Nassau’s NICE Bus system, which has several routes linking to subway stations in Queens, Suffolk County Transit buses don’t go into New York City.
And so Suffolk bus riders looking for a connection to Manhattan will have to navigate to the three LIRR stations in the county where shuttle buses will run to and from Queens. Those are Ronkonkoma, Huntington and Bay Shore.
The Huntington station is served by the SC1 bus line, as well as Huntington HART H10 and H20 buses.
Ronkonkoma is served by the SC51, 52A and 52B buses.
And Bay Shore is served by the SC2, 7, 11 and 12 buses.
