This stretch near Cypress Hills Cemetery is firmly car-dependent with no subway access in immediate range — you're looking at a bus commute to reach the train. The stops along Cypress Hills Street near Mount Neboh and Beth-El cemeteries, plus the Myrtle Avenue stops at 73rd and 79th Places, connect to routes heading toward Broadway Junction, but there's no station you can walk to. For Manhattan-bound commuters, that means layering bus time onto your journey. The trade-off is quieter streets and easier parking, but transit-wise this pocket asks for patience.
