I went to Jamaica yet again, but this time I did something different. I unlocked new grounds in the neighborhood, venturing to what has turned into my new favorite spots!

For the first time ever (well, not really), I was fanning buses on Hillside Avenue, and at the 165th Street Bus Terminal, then made a pit stop on Jamaica Avenue. During this video, you will see routes from MTA New York City Bus, MTA Bus Company as well as Nassau InterCounty Express all serving, arguably, the busiest part of Jamaica.
