Posted by Michael549 on Thu Oct 20 03:24:27 2016, in response to Re: Staten Island rail tunnel., posted by Elkeeper on Tue Oct 18 20:57:17 2016. I live on Richmond Terrace in the St. George/Brighton area while the UA Movie Theater is located at 2474 Forest Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303 - across the street from the Home Depot. On the S40 bus it is a straight direct one seat ride - except rush hours. In short one is traveling from almost one end of the bus line to the other end of the same bus line. Usually it is a 20-minute trip once one has learned the bus schedule.Plus the S40 has easy access to the shopping - Kohl's, Loews, and other stores along that section of Forest Avenue. So why mess with a functioning bus route? ---- Prior to this theater opening there WAS a movie theater with 14 screens in Travis along Victory Blvd and the Staten Island Expressway near the end of the S62 Bus, and for me requiring a transfer - easily 40-minutes to an hour of travel time. There is another movie theater at the Hylan Mall Plaza shopping center along Hylan Blvd with the S78 & S79 buses - all requiring a transfer and often an hour of travel time. And there is another theater called the Atrium Cinema at 680 Arthur Kill Rd., Staten Island, NY 10308 - south of the Staten Island Mall. To reach this theater requires a transfer to the S74 bus - nothing less than an hour. Out of all of the methods of getting to and from the movies on Staten Island - the current situation with the S40 and the theater on Forest Avenue is THE BEST! THE EASIEST AND THE QUICKEST! Yes, of course there are theaters in Battery Park City, or on Court Street in Brooklyn - both requiring a ferry trip. Plus there are theaters in New Jersey requiring a car trip and tolls. New Jersey by public transit requires a ferry ride, a subway ride and a trip on PATH to the NewPort Mall just to go to the movies - I think not. I am a Star Trek fan, and plus there are a few other movies that I like to see. Plus if there is a new remake of the "Taking Of The Pelham 123" . . . Mike |
