you need the E train if you want something that goes thru jamaica. the A train will take you to Far Rockaway.

yup, i know - i work in far rockaway. i was pondering training it to work but i would have to leave my house CRAZY early if i wanted to take the LIRR straight to far rock.
i was trying to see if i could catch the A from jamaica to far rock.
eta- i would have to leave my house by 3:30 am to get to work in time, but would have 45min to kill once i got there. likewise coming home, i'd get off of work at 3:45, not get a train until 4:30 and wouldn't walk into my house untl close to 7pm.
so to save gas $$ and take the train, i'd be out of my house like 16 hours as opposed to 12. no freakin way.

hmmmm can't get the A at Jamaica- perhaps taking the J or the E and transferring to the A? I take the A everyday

thank you... but yeah, way too much transferring and too long of a commute. gas prices are out of control as we all know, and i was trying to ease my 60mile commute, filling my truck every other day and save money - esp since i ride the train for free... but adding an extra 3 hoursd AT LEAST to my commute just ain't worth it.

Re: anyone familiar with the "A" train (subway)?
Try this.
At Jamacia take the AIRTRAIN going towards JFK. Take it to the Howard Beach exit.
Then catch the A train there.
Should be quicker then going through Manhattan, but will cost more in additional train fares.
