Spending most of my life a little further north, New Brunswick train station was my go to. The parking lots there charge hourly unless you can find street parking or it's Sunday. This being a cheap option, especially since most are still on a hybrid commuting schedule, it may also be an option to not have to get a parking permit, so that's a win! The station is well lit and there is a nice amount of traction during commuting hours which is nice so you don't feel alone. The platform is outside so dress appropriately for the weather.

    Ya gotta love Yelp when I found a text for the "10 best train stations in Princeton Junction"…read moresitting in my inbox. As the ONLY train station in Princeton Junction, maybe it's time to update my review. Pre-pandemic this station was subject to horrendous overcrowding and grossly inadequate parking for the Wall Street bedroom community money changers that rose pre-dawn for their daily migration into lower Manhattan. Currently, with WFH still lingering and the exit of many financial houses to the tax free climes of Florida, parking is far easier and in true close the barn door after the horses have run off fashion, a new multi-level parking deck is being constructed to accommodate the waning demand. As for the station, I would offer that clubbing and reverie is not what you're here for. A small coffee shop, ticket machines and wooden benches are your VIP amenities and IF (and it's a big if) the trains are on-time it's 60 minutes (more or less) into the bowels of Penn Station. All aboard, or should I just say, bored. Decent and functional snares four stars for the Junction. In any case, it still beats driving by a mile.

    One of the main means to commute to the heart of Princeton, located at the southern edge of the…read moreuniversity, whereas long ago, it was located close to the entrance of Princeton (near current day Blair Hall of Princeton U), and then relocated to another stop meters south until 2013, which became The Dinky Bar & Kitchen almost a year ago, making this the third iteration, being a part of the current modernization of the university (bigger buildings, more parking). Nowadays, there's plenty of features that can make this station worthwhile to depart and leave from, including a nearby bus/shuttle/taxi stop, Wawa (which to be short, is as shiny as a diamond, even for Princeton U), bike racks, and most of Princeton U to explore, or attend. If commuting by rail, this station is the only way in/out of Princeton, offering a brief 5 minute ride on the historic "Dinky" route, shuttling passengers in/out of Princeton to Princeton Junction (or West Windsor) in a 5 minute ride, from then, you can connect with other routes on the NEC (as south as Trenton, or as north as Newark/New York), and Amtrak's routes. Ticket prices, it's 3$ to go to/from this station to/from Princeton Junction, and to the bewilderment of first timers, it's a separate trip, where the conductors are mostly lenient on making them buy a ticket on the train (3+5$ = 8$), and hypothetically, it'll be: 6.75$ for a Princeton-Trenton ride, 17.75$ for Princeton-New York Penn, or 19$ from Princeton-Newark Liberty Int'l Airport, all one way, but two tickets. In terms of amenities, there's a train shelter/waiting rooms almost immediately near the tracks that are pleasant in winter, open air seating/tables outside, great for summer, 4 NJ Transit TVMs, a Wawa, which in my opinion is leagues better vs the store in Princeton Junction's station, and a bathroom in Wawa. Fortunately, the rooms are open as long as the station is, in contrast to PCJ. The buses outside will offer connections to the rest of Princeton, and nearby communities, such as Montgomery, Lawrence, and more, as well as inside the university, and there's rarely taxis outside. Timing, it can range from an hour, 10 minutes to 90 minutes (70-90) to ride to/from this station to/from NY Penn, 25 minutes to/from Trenton, and 5 minutes to Princeton. Fortunately the "Dinky" arrives in sync most of the time when the (NJT) trains roll in, giving you 2-5 minutes to react and head out, same can be said for the opposite, while giving you ample time to park, purchase tickets, and more. Now for my cons, it's a bit upsetting to have to walk all the way from one end of the university to Nassau Hall to get into Princeton proper, but it's a good way to see the sights and be at peace! In cases of severe storms and/or snow, the line may be disrupted, giving commuters the option of switching to buses. It's an annoyance since the trip may take longer and may not be in tune with PCJ's timing, but at least they honor bus/rail tickets. It's a good station, and with plenty of conveniences, ample time to explore Princeton U, good restaurants/Wawa, and the chance to bike, you're in good hands here. Almost never felt like I was "unsafe here", but I'm sure Princeton U's police give a fair inspection every time. Until next time!

    I've used Amigo in the past, a couple of years ago. They were really on their game back then. I've…read moretried to use them twice recently and both times they were incompetent. The first time I had to drop my rental car off near Princeton Junction. I called ahead of time to ensure i had a ride back to my house. They had me waiting and waiting. At the hour mark I decided just to walk the mile toward the Junction and take the dinky into town and walk the rest of the way home. Just now, I decided to give them another chance and arrange for a cab ride tomorrow. The guy mumbled something and I had him clarify if this was A Amigo Princeton Taxi, thinking that perhaps I dialed the wrong number. He said it was, I began to ask for a Taxi pickup and he just hung up the phone on me mid-sentence. You know, I work hard for my money and Uber is a lot easier than this headache. Avoid at all costs, you've been warned.

    Wow! This taxi company takes the world of on call car service to a whole new level of fairness,…read moreprofessionalism, and peace of mind. After four separate rides from them with different drivers and on different days, I feel truly comfortable saying that this is the creme de la creme of car services in Princeton - and just about anywhere else you could think of! Here's my experience: When I called A Amigo, the phone was picked up promptly, the dispatcher was calm and knowledgeable, I was treated with respect. Each time I called, my car arrived either early or on time. In one instance, A Amigo drivers were unavailable to pick me up, and instead of turning me down, A Amigo contacted another reputable area driver for me and a clean, courteous ride was at my door in no time! What above and beyond service! In essence, they were going to take care of me no matter what. Drivers are clean, cars are clean, they are white and clearly marked in green. The cares are eco friendly. The drivers drive safely and ask your preference before choosing a route, especially if the original road has traffic. They are honest and fair on pricing. Lowest fares in Princeton, using a meter. Nicest drivers ever! On this visit I was in town to help my Parents, after one had open heart surgery. Without a vehicle I was entirely reliant on A Amigo to help me get around town to run various errands for my Parents and for myself. On one trip to the local market, I informed the driver dropping me off that I would need a pick up in half an hour, and twenty five minutes later as I was checking out, what do I see what an A Amigo car waiting outside for me. The driver had no problem with the wait, was patient and kindly loaded all of my grocery bags into the trunk of the car and secured them in with a bungee cord. Upon arriving at my destination, the driver got out of the car and unloaded each grocery bag for me, even offering to carry them to the front door. I was not charged for any extra wait time at all. What a joy to have the sometimes pain, sometimes hassle of using a car service, entirely joyful and pleasant. There is no other car service for me in Princeton. A Amigo, please go on forever!

The dispatcher called me back immediately after I left a message with the company, and was friendly and helpful in coordinating travel details for an airport pickup for my parents, who are... not technology friendly. Dispatcher called me back the afternoon of my parent's scheduled arrival with specific info on their driver - name, phone #, etc - in addition to trying to text it to them. (Nice try, my parents don't understand texting.) Their driver called moments after they stepped off the plane, and he was available curbside to them as soon as they'd collected their luggage. I'd warned them that there was quite a bit of luggage, so the driver had even brought an assistant to help him load up. Mom reported that the SUV they sent was clean and well cared for, and still had plenty of room for her, my dad, and their 8 suitcases. Driver was friendly and attentive. Mom could not have been more pleased. She even asked for his card! (Mom NEVER does this, because she finds fault with EVERYTHING.) I think it's safe to say we've found our new transportation service!
