MTA huh ... that's tough.

Take the R or V train to Woodhaven Blvd/Slattery Plaza (at Queens Blvd)

You'll be at the Queens center mall. Take the Q88 bus to Utopia Parkway (you pick this up on the side of the mall, across the street - I think the corner is 59th Avenue)

At Utopia Parkway and the L.I.E. Service Road, Transfer to the Q33 to Francis Lewis Blvd.

At Francis Lewis Blvd and the L.I.E Service Road, Transfer to the Q76 going North. Get off at Francis Lewis Blvd. and 32nd Avenue.

Holy Cross is across the street.

Re: Queens people, with knowledge of Holy Cross HS

Ok, I need to think about this one -


ETA because I didn't read correctly, I thought you were driving

here are the directions from Holy Cross website - can you get to Flushing or Jamaica?

directions/public transportation

Public Transportation from downtown Flushing
Students coming from the downtown Flushing subway station area (IRT #7 Train - Main Street Station) may take any Q 16 bus to the school. A number of buses may be taken to downtown Flushing in order to transfer to a Q 16 bus. These include the Q 14, Q 26, Q 48, Q 27, Q 44, B 58, the 65 and 66.
Students may take the Q 28 from downtown Flushing as far as Francis Lewis Boulevard and 32nd Avenue. This is about three blocks from the school.


Public Transportation from Jamaica
The Q 76 begins at the 165th Street Terminal in Jamaica, goes along Hillside Avenue and then up Francis Lewis Boulevard to within a block of the school. A number of buses bring students to the corner of Hillside Avenue and Francis Lewis Boulevard. These include the Q 43, Q 36, Q 1, Q 2, Q 3, Q 17, Q 75 and the Q 77. The N 1, N 2, N 6, N 22 and N 24 also make connections here. The Q 76 connects with the Q 44, the Q 75, the Q 88, the Q 17, the Q 12, the Q 13 and the N 21 as it goes up Francis Lewis Boulevard to Holy Cross High School.
The Q 31, originating in Jamaica, also stops across the street from the school on Francis Lewis Boulevard.

Re: Queens people, with knowledge of Holy Cross HS

Thanks so much!!! Maps and all, you are great!!

I have to rethink this. Most parents aren't going, and both my parents work that morning. I hate that no one will be there to see him play. I am thinking if I just get there, one of the parents will bring me home.

Thanks so much

If you can get the 7 train and take that into Main Street/Flushing that would be easier than my directions. Believe it or not, that's how I used to go to school minus the train & the last bus Chat Icon

Re: Queens people, with knowledge of Holy Cross HS

yea unfortunately. bkyn & queens doesn't really link up as well as bkyln/manhattan and manhattan/queens does.

if you are coming from SI, I'd transfer to the 6 and get off at Grand Central, take the 7 train to the end (Main Street) then hop on the Q16 I think it said.
It'll be a long trip; but the most direct (and shortest) route

Would you consider taking the LIRR? The Bayside Station is probably a 10 - 15 minute walk from the HS. You would look for the Port Washington Line which you can pick up at Penn Station or Woodside (the 7 train stops here).

no, you would have to buy a lirr ticket but on the weekends it's $3 for city zones and the ride from Penn is only 25 minutes.

Re: Queens people, with knowledge of Holy Cross HS

I just thought of something (remembering back to my days of dating HC football players Chat Icon ) Is the game going to be played at Holy Cross? We used to have go watch them play in different parks/fields.

And as for the LIRR, the Bayside stop is probably a $6 cab ride to the school.

well that's 15 blocks away from the school. Francis Lewis Blvd. (where the school is located) is in essence 200th street.

Just an FYI.

An express 7 train from Grand Central to Main Street is under 30 minutes, not sure how long the bus ride will be.

Good luck!
