Stuyvesant Town residents are thrilled with the new free shuttles that Stuy Town is offering to the Hamptons and Fire Island this summer. The email sent out Thursday read "If you want to get away but don`t have a car, Peter Cooper Village and Stuyvesant Town are offering shuttles to The Hamptons and Fire Island this Spring and Summer."
The email went on to say that if you can't afford a car, you obviously can't afford a place in either The Hamptons or Fire Island. That is why PCVST will make arrangements for tenants to stay in luxurious youth hostels and breezy beach front flop houses.
Some tenants we spoke with suggested that it is management who should take the shuttles and never return.

Update from the Recreation Office: For residents who cannot afford to stay overnight, they can book a daytrip by reserving ahead. Ride out, smell the sea air, and be home by early afternoon to enjoy some golf at the Oval putting green.
Hey, let's not forget the added luxury we have if we choose not to go to the Hamptons for the weekends: we now have BED BUGS! Another MCI on the way!
Great! Hopefully the three girls upstairs who come stumbling home drunk at 4:30 in the morning in high heeled shoes on bare floors because they can't afford rugs will be on that Jitney...every weekend!!!
BTW, I know they can't afford rugs for their two bedroom apartment (or furniture, for that matter - they have none!) because I went up there at 3:00 in the morning to ask them to please stop vacuuming as they'd awakened my entire family. Believe me, it happened. Luxurious!
Hey, what about all the hundreds college and grad students crammed like cocktail weiners into these Stuy Town dorm apartments? We like sun and surf too! How about a free ride to Penn Station, so I can take the LIRR out to Long Beach for the day?! That'd be awesome!
My mother used to rent a little summer apartment for us in Far Rockaway every August until Tishman Speyer sent us a non-renewal of lease notice because of it. Mother collapsed in a heap on the kitchen floor while reading it. Fortunately, Beth Israel is right across the street and after a month in intensive care, she came back in our rent-stabilized home safe and sound here in Stuy Town.
All our Far Rockaway summer rental money went to pay for an attorney to settle the non-renewal notice dispute.
To Cole Slaughter: sorry to say that the high-heeled girls won't be taking the Jitney. They've found a new place to sunbathe: the Oval!
@ Beulah:
I'm not so sure that the bedbugs will qualify for an MCI... I'm fairly certain that, unless they (collectively, per apartment) weigh more than 80 pounds, they're protected by the new pet policy. On the other hand, think of all the money to be made by charging the market raters that little $250 per pet registration fee!!! Ka-ching!!
As per management office - rent stabilized tenants will have their own, personal shuttle. One way trips 'to an unknown destination' will be leaving daily from the oval. As incentive to sign up, tenants will be offered a 'buy one pair get one pair at 1/2 price' coupon redeemable at Payless.

Clever T-S! Since the key card plan was deemed illegal, they've found another way to track rent stabilized tenants' whereabouts! Each time a resident takes the Jitney, their name is immediately sent to the centralized computer and a checkmark is put in the "days spent out of the apartment" column. Soon they'll be offering weeklong trips to Nantucket and monthlong trips to Florida, all to entice unsuspecting tenants into being evicted.
