Does the Suffolk County Buses in Long Island still accept cash or metrocards now?

Question

Only people who live or work in Suffolk county

Answer 1

They take cash meaning only quarters. You put it into the machine upfront.

Answer 2

Whoo-Hoo, hooray for East hampton (& cheers for The Hampton Jitney bus!!!)
My parents used to have a "summer" house there and we went there every year up until 1990 (91?), when there was some huge hurricane and the damage costs/plus year round up keep was too expensive, so they sold it (and they were in the middle of divorcing anyway)

Okay, now that i've shared my personal history...
