[[File:Bardonia Station - November 2014.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Location of the former Bardonia Railway Station]]
Bardonia was previously served by the [[New Jersey and New York Railroad]]'s New City Branch,<ref>[http://raildata.railfan.net/erie/homeerr.html System Map]</ref> which was later incorporated into the [[Erie Railroad]] system. Service along the New City Branch ended in 1939, and the tracks were quickly removed thereafter. The old [[Bardonia (Erie Railroad station)|Bardonia railway station house]] existed in its place near the corner of Bardonia Road and [[New York State Route 304]] until 2014,<ref>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/26+Bardonia+Rd,+Bardonia,+NY+10954/@41.109446,-73.995102,3a,52.5y,321.55h,89.27t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sdVQNQB-kPQeDb3AU6Jv9gg!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x89c2e827d731b657:0x4a7e57a210a0f1b7!6m1!1e1 Bardonia Railway Station on Google Maps]</ref> when it was demolished to make way for a CVS.

Today, Bardonia does not have rail service; its nearest railway station is 2.5 miles to the south at [[Nanuet (NJT station)|Nanuet]]. Bardonia is provided by [[Rockland Coaches]] Bus Routes 11A, 49, and 49J,<ref>[http://www.coachusa.com/CoachUsaAssets/files/97/route49.pdf Rockland Coaches Timetable]</ref> with service to [[New York City]]'s [[Port Authority Bus Terminal]] and to various locations throughout [[Midtown Manhattan]].
