Transportation
Note: We have made every effort to offer the most convenient schedules for your trip to and from Fire Island. In some instances there are no connecting services (where the LIRR schedule service and the Sayville Ferry schedule coincide at a reasonable time), or alternate services available.
As for alternates, in most instances convenient connects can be made through Ronkonkoma Station - and we have noted on the Fairy Schedule. Ronkonkoma Station can be reached by taxi in about 15 minutes. Occasionally the bus service will choose to take you to Ronkonkoma Station rather than Sayville Station.
Advisory & Schedule updates via Text Message
The LIRR is providing up to the minute delays, schedule and fare information if you text your station combination to 266266. For example:
Text " Penn to Sayville " to 266266
You'll get a text message with the latest schedule for the next three trains, information about delays, and the current fare - handy if you don't know when peak fares are in effect. Standard text message rates apply.
