So Downstate has a van that will drop you off or pick you up from Winthrop or Church Ave. train stations 24/7.
If you're departing from the school during the day time, the van comes around every 15 minutes or so and takes you to the parking lots and Winthrop Station.
At night time you have to call up, and request a car.
How do you call them? There is phone by the security guard's desk at the Lennox Road entrance.
Who comes in the off hours to pick you up is not the van, though, it's the cops. They come pick you up, and escort you to the train station like you are President Obama or something.
But the major difference between when you call for a police escort, and when Obama calls, is you will be waiting around for forever for the boys in blue to show up. Especially if you're a guy.
I've called on two separate occasions, got tired of waiting, and went ahead and walked.
They will come pick you up from Church Ave or from Winthrop at night for you folks planning to dorm. But again they are not reliable, and you may have to make several phone calls for them to come get you. My classmate also experienced this. And he was also a guy.
