Have you (or anyone else kind enough to reply) used the Train Time app for buying tickets and navigating a trip on the LIRR? I’ve only used the LIRR for trips from Northport to Penn Station, so I don’t know my way around the system very well, and don’t want to get lost with my daughter in tow. Looking at the schedules, there’s one that transfers at Mineola to UBS, but I don’t know anything about the tracks there and which one to get on. At a quick glance, it looks like the Train Time app gives pretty concise real time info for a trip, but I haven’t actually used it.I make it in 13 min, but I'm a fast-walking city slicker.
FYI, just learned today that the MTA has canceled service on the Belmont Park line. That means no more railroad shuttles from Jamaica to the arena before and after games. Your only option for the LIRR is to take it to Elmont-UBS and either get on a shuttle bus or hoof it to the arena.
However, it does appear that they have expanded westbound service after the games, so there's that at least.
Thanks in advance!
