Maybe you don't have highways from the areas you mentioned, but you do have streets like Atlantic Avenue and Conduit Boulevard or Lefferts Blvd from Jamaica which makes it only about 15 minutes to 30 minutes to access the Belt, whereas making the entire trip with local streets would add considerable time to the trip maybe 30 to 45 extra minutes or more with heavy traffic. (Of course nowadays the Southern State is also mobbed going to the Jones Beach, but we're talking about then not now.)Also the LIRR to Rockaway before it was abandoned was much quicker than the subway. Compare 15 minutes with the LIRR to two hours by subway from places like Rego Park and Forest Hills to the Rockaways. |
