MTA Hempstead Transit Center

Not the best terminal but certainly better than most. I do have my guards up depending on the time of day im there being that local alcoholics, drug addictd, homeless and unemployed tend to use this place as their local watering hole.

Pretty seedy place a lot of degenerates just hanging out not waiting on a bus. Only come here once in a blue but its gone way down hill over the years

HORRIBLE! I hadn’t been here in years since before MTA LI Bus became NICE. It wasn’t great back then, but it has pretty much turned into a slum. Despite being rush hour, there weren’t many commuters coming & going, and just alot of seedy people hanging around that appeared up to no good. Others were drinking too. And forget about the restroom, couldn’t even enter due to the stench of cigarettes and weed. And I saw very little, if any, security. No bus schedules available to take either. This place was certainly better in the MTA days. I highly recommend avoiding changing buses here at any cost, you risk being robbed or attacked here, and there are reports in the local police blotters of crime happening here. If the folks at NICE are reading this please add more security, maybe a police presence. Until things get better I don’t plan on changing buses here ever again.

This place is part shady, part decent, part scary. It’s one of the major bus hubs for Long Island. There’s all kinds of people hanging out here. Hardworking people and students without cars transfer here to get around and tons of shadesters also transfer here or just hang out here. It could make things interesting, depending on how scary the shadester in question is. The bathrooms are to only be used in a fit of desperation to avoid peeing yourself! In the daytime it’s pretty safe, it’s a little scary to be here at night though. They have decent snackish options during the day too if you are traveling sans food and get a little bit hungry.

This place sucks.

Years ago I used to transfer a bus to Jamaica Queens… the bus terminal is decent …

Overall a decent facility, could be better.
