Fresh Meadows is not the ideal
place to commute from, however it can be done. All
commuting is done via the "F' train which stops
at Jamaica Avenue. The only issue is that you will
need to drive a car or take bus to get to the Jamaica
Avenue station. Once you are at the station you
can be in midtown in 35 minutes and downtown in
45 minutes. |
