Think about it: a Jamaica-LIRR - Chambers Street route would be a lose-lose situation for both BRT and LIRR as private companies.BRT would lose its Jamaica-bound business to a faster LIRR Atlantic Av route east of Chestnut Street. LIRR would lose lower Manhattan-bound business west of Chestnut Street to BRT one-seat ride to Chambers Street. |

There was an article about this LIRR-BRT service in a Headlights issue during the mid to late 1960s. I hopefully still have that issue in a manila folder in my filing cabinet in my storage unit.I don't remember specific issue date and year. My car's check engine light is on so I don't feel comfortable traveling the 12-15 miles west to where my stuff is stored, and I'm on LOA from work which is close to the storage building. I'm sorry I cannot currently be of more help right now. If I could, I'd travel to my storage unit and dig out the Headlights folder and get the issue info. I will put it on my future to do list; hopefully you can find out the cite to the Headlights issue sooner. |

The service was limited to a time when BRT trains only ran to Broadway Ferry (1898-9), so a one seat ride to Manhattan was impossible. It also predated the IRT coming to Brooklyn. Heck, it predated electrification. |
