I telephoned the Oyster Ride cab. They have a taxi stand at the Hicksville station. Cost to LIU is $20.00. I did not check the Yellow Cab. Information: Cab sharing is common on Long Island. If two or more people arrive at the same time, you will definitely share the cab. Agree to split the fare with your colleagues (beforehand) and save some money. Don't decide after you arrive at the destination, the cabbie will get mad.
ReplyDeleteI agree sharing a cab would be the best thing to do. If we can set-up a share service that can match up attendees with other individuals who are going to & from the LIRR station at similar times that be perfect. Anyone have ideas as to how we can do this? Cheers, Anonymous #2
DeleteThe LiRR tells me that I will be in Hicksville at either 8:26 or 8:39 am so I hope to see you Archivist there so that we might share a cab. We'll know who we are.

Looking at the LIRR schedule from Penn Station to Hicksville, it looks like there is a train that arrives in Hicksville at 8:26am (cutting it close!) and the earlier train arrives at 6:48am (kind of early). Are there really no LIRR trains in between those 2 times? Would it be advisable to take the 7 subway line to Flushing and the NICE20 from there? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThere is a LIRR train from Penn to Great Neck that arrives at 7:33am, and the N20 NICE bus also picks up from there.
DeleteI've never taken the subway to the bus, so I can't speak from experience, but maybe someone else can?
Also keep in mind that the current LIRR schedule expires on May 19th. So it might change a little between now and June 5th.
DeleteThanks, Kristine! I'll look into that Great Neck train.
DeleteThe bus schedule times rarely changes in Nassau. Check the N20 bus schedule on NICE for the latest bus information. Nassau buses accepts Metro cards and coins, no dollar bills.
ReplyDeleteIs there any restriction on parking? The SAA workshop letter says "any legal spot," but the CW Post website says that visitor registration is required.
ReplyDeleteThere is no parking registration. Just park legally, in marked spots.
