Nassau Announces Special Jones Beach Concert Bus

In order to help even more people experience concerts at Jones Beach this summer, Nassau County announced that a special express bus will run from the Freeport train station to the Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater during the 2019 concert season.

Bus service will start on May 30 for Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band and run through the last show on Sept. 19.

Riders can use NICE Bus' n88 service out of the Freeport LIRR station, with concert service starting 90 minutes prior to show time, operating up to 90 minutes past the end of each concert. Pickups and drop-off are located at the East Bathhouse, a short walk across from the amphitheater.

Bus fare is $2.75 one-way for all Jones Beach and concert service. Riders can purchase tickets through the NICE GoMobile payment app, using an MTA MetroCard, or with exact change in coins (no dollar bills) for payment.

The bus service is a joint venture between the county and entertainment company Live Nation, which is sponsoring many of the concerts at Jones Beach.

“Nothing says ‘summer on Long Island’ like enjoying a concert at Jones Beach with family or friends,” said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran. “I’m excited to partner with Live Nation to provide this bus service to help more of our residents enjoy these memorable events.”

The Long Island Railroad also offers a discounted travel package to Jones Beach from Penn Station/Atlantic Station (Brooklyn) and Jamaica, Queens during the summer months, including NICE's n88 Jones Beach service. Riders can visit the MTA website for schedules and fare info for LIRR service to Freeport.
