Long Island always inundated with traffic, especially during peak rush hours. The Town of Southampton created The South Fork Commuter Connection, a coordinated rail and bus system created to operate during peak commuting hours, providing workers an option to use public transportation. The South Fork Commuter Connection runs Monday through Friday year around, except for major holiday and summer Fridays. SFCC stops in Speonk, Westhampton, Hampton Bays, Southampton, Bridgehampton, East Hampton, Amagansett, and Montauk.

The cost of the LIRR is ONLY $4.25 each way, including the train ride and shuttle services. This is a two-part ticket, one part will be collected by the train conductor and the second part of the ticket goes to shuttle bus driver prior to boarding.
