Bus to the L/A/C/ANYTHING train...

carmen

Sometimes I'm just damn sick of the G. I live on top of the bedford/nostrand G stop and its really, really far to walk to anything else, especially when I'm already late to work.
I suck at buses. I have no concept of above-ground geography. Are there any decent buses that run from Bedstuy to ANY train going into the city? Specifically the L, A/C? I usually just wait at the top of the platform for the G to see which direction comes first (its equal stops to the AC and the L) but one morning I waited 25 minutes for a train coming either direction during rush hour...buses seem to be more consistent
Anyone?

looks like if you take the B44 southbound along Nostrand Avenue you should hook up with the A/C Nostrand Avenue stop at Fulton Street.

Shish is correct. The bus stops right on the corner of Nostrand and Lafayette right at the train station. You can take it down to Fulton and catch the A/C.

i love this board. Im going to have to try that this week. I love the G train (well, because I sleep on top of it) but I'll be damned if it isnt slow...
how long do you suppose the bus ride is?

Carmen, I've actually switched TO the G because I've found the buses to Downtown Brooklyn to be even slower; plus, the B54 has so many people fare jumping by sneaking in the back that you can never get on anyway.

I find the G during rush hour to be great. Off-hours it goes slowly, especially on the weekends.

There are a lot of buses I can take to downtown Brooklyn but they're very slow during rush hour. (B54 on Myrtle, B38 on Dekalb, B61 on Park Ave)

the B48 goes up classon and down franklin and can take you to williamsburg (and the lorimer L) or the JMZ and Broadway and Lorimer.

I found the G much faster than taking the bus to the A/C Nostrand stop. I recommend timing yourself so you know when the G train comes (it is usually regular in the AM) and try to go for it. I was successful in never waiting more than a few minutes for it this way.
