To go from bayside to Lower manhattan on the bus and subway was an hour and a half to 2 hours.Those were probably the days before free transfers with MetroCards, so transfers between bus and subway cost an additional token (double fare). Eastern Queens (and SI) residents welcome the free transfers when MetroCard was rolled out systemwide.
Number 2 or 3, then the LIRR? 40 minutes. I did not make much, so when i had nothing planned after work i took the bus and subway. When I had to get home to go out after work i took the RR. Used to have ten trip tickets.
Since my friend continues to chain smoke nonstop, she is probably an Alco.
