There used to be a private bus service between Boro Park and Crown Heights. I have been looking for transportation between Boro Park and Crown Heights, but it looks like this bus service is no longer in business. Is there any similar service available now? Commute by train/bus not such a good option. TIA

Is this the same private bus company? Do you have any contact information? Really appreciate any additional information since the subway commute is very difficult. TIA!

It didn't last too long. Unfortunately there's still no easy way, I walked the other day because I just couldn't handle shlepping my stroller on the subway yet again🙈

It is ironic.

I commuted to school from Midwood to Manhattan and my friends were scattered all over the boroughs. If I wanted to see friends outside of school we had to meet in Manhattan so it was easier for me to visit my Manhattan friends than my Brooklyn friends - and forget about my Queens friends.

If I wanted to see my friend in BP, my father had to drive me and pick me up later in the afternoon. Or the next day if it was a sleep over. I think a few times I took the train to Atlantic Avenue and then got on the subway line to BP but that was a shlep.

If you schedule your Uber ride in advance (as opposed to requesting at the same time you need it), you can sometimes get fares for ~$10-15 between the two neighborhoods. Probably too expensive if you need to go back and forth every day, but good for the occasional trip.

When you first log in to the app, there's a box on the left that says "where to?" to put in the address. Right next to it on the right, there's a box that says "now" with a little pulldown arrow. If you click on the arrow , a screen will pop up to let you scroll down to pick the date and time you want.
