NY Beach Bus!

We saw this sign on the corner of Atlantic and Court and thought it was an awesome idea.  This "beach bus" charges $10 one way or $12 round trip to take passengers to Rock Away Beach and Jacob Riis Park.  They leave a few times a day each Saturday and Sunday. On their website they only show 2 pick up locations, one near the Atlantic Center (Pacific and 4th Ave) and one in Williamsburg.  We'll see if they choose to add more if it catches on.
