How do I get to 619w 54th st?

Question

I'm way lost I live in Staten Island, NY and I've tried to find where i can get to 619w 54th st (Manhattan) faster. I took the 1 all the way down to 59th st but i walked a lot and i got to school late, the same for 50th st same train. Is their something faster and closer? I'm kind of commute illiterate so please don't don't make fun of me lol. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

My friend, the best to tell you is to take the express bus from Staten Island to Manhattan. There are four express lines that terminate near 619 West 54th Street, which is located between 11th Avenue and the West Side Highway.

The X12, 14, 30 and 42 all stop at West 57th Street and 11th Avenue, three blocks from you location. The fare on the bus is $5 each way.

Now, since you didn't mention what part of Staten Island your in, this is the best information I can give you. However, the links below will be very helpful. Each of the express bus lines that I mentioned have a timetable with a route map of each line.

I hope this information is very helpful.

Good luck

Unfortunately you're way over by 11th Avenue, several blocks past the subway.

You can try taking the express train part of the way, and see if it cuts off a few minutes.

Coming from the ferry terminal, get on the #1, but at Chambers Street transfer to a #2 or #3 express going uptown.  Take that to 42nd Street, where you'd transfer back to the #1 local to 50th Street.
