Six years in the making, the the Long Island Rail Road’s new Atlantic Terminal Pavilion opened on Tuesday with many politicians on hand.
At a cost of $108 million, the three-story limestone, granite and glass structure at Flatbush Avenue and Hanson Place has a customer waiting area, ticket offices and restrooms.
It’s like a real train station. Wow.
The Atlantic LIRR station connects to five bus lines and 10 subway lines – the B, D, M, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4 and 5 trains. It is estimated that 57,000 commuters come through the station daily.
You can even take the train to Montauk from there if you are so inclined .
The name will be changed to Atlantic Terminal in March. This video is a promotional video produced by the MTA.
