Posted by Jeff Rosen on Sun Feb 11 19:07:39 2007, in response to Re: A Transit Robert Moses Guy, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Feb 11 18:55:59 2007. Chris, I am pretty sure commercial traffic was able to use the Meadowbrook between Merrick Road and Jones right from the beginning, at least official traffic with permission. They needed deliveries from the beginning for building materials and the beach needed supplies for their restaurants and pools. And of course oil deliveries for buildings in the winter. Anyway here is a picture taken from a bus calendar of a Jones Beach Bus in Freeport of the Jerusalem Avenue Bus Lines taken in 1951. (The other bus is a Bee Line Bus, I assume going to Jamaica as the Bee Line had a Freeport to Jamaica route.) I remember in the 60's before LI Bus the Jerusalem Av Bus Company supplied the buses to Jones Beach with brown colored fishbowls. (The Jerusalem Avenue Bus Company also operated the school bus company Harran Transportation which eventually became the Harran Transit with the Atlantic City buses.)
