...We rode out of Hacketstown NJ on NJT 8::10 Fri and were able to get into NYP as the "first" train after the wires were fixed...then left for H'mpstd arriving at 11:36, got the bus to W.H'mpstd, the 1:53 to VS and on to Brooklyn, the D train to 34th st, PATH to Hoboken and NJT to H'twn. Your directions and informaiton was invaluable, the trains crews on all (5 LI, 3NJT) were also helpful and friendly..even opening the cars at WH long before departure because of the cold! Next trip is to be the Air Train: can you buy a ticket from Jamaica to Howard Beach?

No. You have to pay $5 to get on at Jamaica and $5 to get off at Howard Beach.
