LIRR/atlantic center

i know this isn't a PS post but i had no idea where else to put it.

if i take the G train to fulton i can transfer to the LIRR (says a: hopstop, and b: the LIRR website). am i transferring underground? outside?

I've never seen an underground passage at the Fulton stop. I've gotten off there but then had to go up to the street and then walk back toward Atlantic Center. So if there is one, it's not readily apparent. But it's only a little over a block away.

where will the G let me off?

It will let you off near BAM.

Step 1: Get above ground.
Step 2. Find BAM and walk toward it.
Step 3. Walk around BAM, toward the Williamsburg Bank building.

You will be outside, not inside.

thanks whynot!

Is the G the only option you have?

or F. or arecibo, which is sounding better and better

take the f or g to fourth ave and switch to the manhattan bound RR to pacific st,, where there is an underground passage that will lead you to the LLIR

i can catch the LIRR at the atlantic/pacific station? great.

Out of curiosity, is there any reason why you're trying to stay below ground? It's not like you'll be saving any $, and the time it takes to walk from the Fulton Street G stop is likely shorter than the time it will take to switch to the R, wait for the R, and then walk the 2 blocks (and several sets of stairs) underground (the R platform at Atlantic/Pacific is at one end of the station, the LIRR terminal is at the other).

those are good thoughts. i have a tendency, when i come out of the subway in a place i'm not used to, to walk in the entirely wrong direction and get lost. then i will get sweaty and mad, equally. underground, there are signs. it's also longer and hotter.

Here's the Google Map coming off the G train stop at Fulton:

It'll be easy to get your bearings - the Williamsburg Savings Bank building (aka One Hanson Place) is right across the street from the LIRR stop, at Flatbush & 4th ave. When you get out of the subway station, head towards it.

the alternative is, take the b67 [7th ave bus] to atlantic terminal, it leaves you right at the entrance to the LIRR.

that whole walking to the street from the G fulton stop with your suitcase thing? NOT GOOD.

Wait, does anyone have a non-rolling suitcase anymore?

up 4 flights of steps, carnivore, i had to carry it.
