Years ago (and perhaps now, but I haven't ridden the line lately), there was significant off-peak travel between the stations between Flatbush and Jamaica and Laurelton/Locust Manor. I have to assume that the 15 minute LIRR ride was significantly better than whatever train/bus combination you would have otherwise had to come up with.Interestingly, however, when the LIRR switched Long Beach from a weekend Flatbush line to a weekend Penn line they added Rosedale/Laurelton/Locust Manor to the Long Beach line on weekends and made the Far Rock trains express between Valley Stream and Jamaica and then local to Flatbush. |
