Yesterday I was invited to come along on a special bus trip in Nassau county to ride Long Island bus and capture some last minute photos before the system is taken over by a new operator. The trip started at 168th Street bus terminal, a shady looking bus terminal in eastern Queens. In waiting for the group to arrive I managed to get a bunch of photos of buses coming in and out. We then went out to Hempstead to get photos from there. After a while our next stop was Mineola. In both Hempstead and Mineola there were also Long Island Railroad photo ops. After that we went down to Sunrise Mall for lunch, at this point it was a late lunch, since we got there around 2pm. After that we hung around for the next connection, which was very late. At that point I gave up and went back since it was starting to get dark. From what I hear they went to Freeport then Flushing Queens. Overall it was a great trip, and probably the best chance I got to get Nassau bus photos because I probably wouldn’t have gone to Hempstead or 168 Street on my own. Next Month I will resume more train related photo trips.
