Train stations little to rave about in general so for me I'm just looking for basic needs to be…read moreprovided: shelter, availability to ticket machines and proper/ safe access to platforms. This station does at the most basic level. The entrance to the station has 2 machines which seems to manage the traffic well. For the most part they are always working and accepting both cash and cards. The station is well lit and the staircases have been upgraded lately. However, there are no elevators/escalators so if you're travelling with a stroller or luggage the stairs can be brutal. Shelter is a basic cover which has about 6 seats and then two outdoors sets of about 4 seats. Again, very no frills.

This station is like most on the LIRR outdoors. It has decent enclosed shelter. It's normally clean…read more. I cannot blame the LIRR for the slobs that smoke or drink and leave rubbish behind. This is a older station so expect no elevators and about 15 steps to climb I think the Rosedale station and I know Jamaica has elevators. Make sure you buy your tickets prior to boarding or you get hit with a surcharge that could double your ticket price. Then the ride on average 22 minutes vs 1.15 and bus train combo Cost is on average 4 times more than regular transit during rush hour west or east off peak about 2.5 times more. This line is on the RockAway branch weekdays and Long Beach weekends. Also effective November 2012 I know this station is undergoing a overhaul so some exits may be closed

Convenient Rail Road Station!…read more It's kept well meaning it's not dirty and run down. Also if you're planning on parking, there are residential areas where you can park and not have to pay. May be a little walking but it's worth it. As a previous Yelper states, the machines are never broken. And there's shelter to wait and it's heated when it's cold out. My only thing is that I wish they had escalators and elevators on each side. Other than that, no complaints

It's usually pretty clean and then of course it's just your average LIRR station. Cute little view of Rosedale if you stand on the top and look around.

And then you come to the realization that valley stream itself is sketchy as hell. Listen, the area around it isn't bad. There's a deli and a Burrito Monster nearby, probably a 1 min walking distance, from the station. Also, there is a bar which I am unable to access since I am not 21. There also seems to be a cafe that is closed all the time (lol). This is a station that you just wanna be out and about. Get there and get on a train. Get off a train and leave. As simple as that. No point in sticking around waiting for your train.

For $8.50 this a terrific alternative, plus the $3 cost of a subway ride, over a cab or Uber charging a ridiculous amount. Good signage and easy directions, along with screens showing the train schedule which runs 8-10 minutes or so. Staff is here to assist with any problems or questions. Pay by credit card, OMNY, or mobile app. Easy peasy. Also, it's free travel from terminal to terminal in case you have time to kill and want to use one of the lounges in a different one than which you're flying out of.

It's free for travel between terminals and other on-airport facilities but requires a fare to travel to Jamaica or Howard Beach stations, where you can transfer to the subway or LIRR. It is significantly cheaper than a taxi or rideshare to get to Manhattan, especially when combined with the subway or LIRR. It provides a quick and direct route to the city, avoiding road traffic. Once you understand the system, it is straightforward to use.

U can now see how much the airport has improved, new terminals, plenty of food options & much easier security.

With plenty of options to choose from for both food & shopping u are not likely to get bored, prices are a bit high but what isn't these days? & well w airports it has always been a bit much, doable all of course depends on your taste.

Sometimes, especially during rush hour. The line for this bus can be a bit crazy. Definitely be prepared to wait in line. The bus line basically takes you down Lefferts Blvd. I'm not sure the exact route it takes to JFK but again it ends up there. The buses themselves are all upgraded now so they tell you the next stop, most have a map that tracks the stops, etc.

This bus serves airport employees as well as passengers which connects to J, Z trains and A Lefferts Boulevard train. Thus when short of cash, one can catch the Q10 Bus at the standard fare of $2.25 to board one's flight at Kennedy Airport. The bus stop on Liberty Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard is nasty everyday plasted with feces and other rubbish on this corner intersection. N.B. There are two routes of this Q10 Bus: * Q10 Limited (service to JFK Airport Central Terminal 4) * Q10 (last stop at 150th Avenue and 130th Place in South Ozone Park near the NYC Department of Sanitation)
