Supreme (20 County Center, near lake Gleneida) later this month and don't know the area. Borrowing a car is an option but that's really my last resort. I'm wondering<br> <br> -- If it's possible to get near the courthouse via Putnam Area Rapid Transit bus from a Metro-North rail station (the PART website was confusing, but it doesn't look like the routes do what I need here)<br> -- Whether it's possible to hail or call a cab from Southeast train station<br> -- If cab is a good choice, fare estimates and phone numbers for recommended taxi services.<br> Thanks. post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.88245 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:30:10 -0800 manderacg carmel putnam publictransportation taxi bus train http://ask.metafilter.com/88245/Is-there-public-transportation-to-Putnam-County-New-York-Supreme-Court#1299215 The Brewster station is actually a little closer to Carmel than the Southeast station. There is also <a href="http://www.putnamcountyny.com/PART/file/PTSBLUEROUTE1high.pdf">bus service from Brewster to Carmel</a>. But the round trip fare from Grand Central to Brewster is $26 already; add money for bus and you're probably talking more than $30, or even $40 if you cab -- so it might be worth your while to just rent a car. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.88245-1299215 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:57:45 -0800 ubiquity
