That's what I was referring to...it's ON Long Island. I know it's part of NYC, but it's still on Long Island. I guess it's just a difference in not being from there. I know and get that Queens and Brooklyn are both part of the city but I didn't think for saying that they're on Long Island (which we established that, yes, those 2 boroughs are on an island called Long Island) would get so much backlash.
Now you know.

To get to Manhattan you'd have to take the Q46 to Queens Blvd and get the E or the F train. Its only like a 15 minute ride to the station. I think the school has its own Manhattan express buses as well.
The express buses are run by the MTA. They are the QM1, QM5, QM6, QM7, and QM8. Out of those, the QM1/7/8 run rush hours only, and the QM5/6 run 7 days a week.
The fare is $5.50 per trip, or $50 for a weekly pass (that's also good on the subway and local buses). If you plan on going to Manhattan often, it might pay to get the weekly pass. (You pay more, but you get a direct ride and a guaranteed comfortable seat on the express bus vs. the local bus/subway)
The local bus/subway cost $2.25 per trip, or $104 for a monthly pass (or $29 for a weekly)

What I meant was, I think the school has its own coach buses to Manhattan because they now have a small campus in Manhattan. So they have their own 'express bus' at certain times during the day back and forth between their Manhattan and Queens campuses. I've seen them, they are red and have their logo on them.
but I didn't think for saying that they're on Long Island (which we established that, yes, those 2 boroughs are on an island called Long Island) would get so much backlash.
On this board you can say "The sun is shining today" and you will get backlash.

I didn't really see a big backlash, but anyone who lives in the tri-state area would never say "Queens and Brooklyn" are IN or ON Long Island. Just not done. When we refer to Long Island it always means Nassau and Suffolk.
