Daily parking only on the top two floors. It's not very ideal. I've heard of incidents of people's cars getting broken into or vandalized because it's wide open for all to see. The waiting area is nice and clean and so are the bathrooms. It's also a nice alternative to getting to New Brunswick and waiting for the train (trips to New York from East Brunswick take approximately 50 minutes). No weekend service here though. For that you have to drive an additional 5 minutes to Tower Center.

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.

I am a frequent customer of the Crosstown New Brunswick Park & Ride location for Coach USA. I have…read morebeen taking Crosstown for 19 years. I cannot explain how terrible the Crosstown service has been so I will discuss today's situation. I arrived early today for the Friday schedule for Crosstown which leave at 5:20am. However, no bus arrived and there was no one from the dispatch office who took any initiative to help or inform the Crosstown passengers about its whereabouts. Crosstown buses at New Brunswick Park & Ride always come from the same parking lot where we are waiting and yet they always come late or in this case for the 5:20am service not at all. When they come we are subjected to sitting on a very cold bus as well. I'm sure Coach USA will tell us they have certain rules and regulations on how long it takes buses to warm up on cold days however I find it to be all excuses. I know from experience that it's the drivers that are the problem, not the equipment. As for today it was very difficult to stand outside waiting for a bus for a certain time just to assume it wasn't coming. Now as passengers we have to find other ways of heading into New York because the schedule we depend on was not fulfilled. The Crosstowns at East Brunswick Tower Center have better service as we have a warm place to stand separate from the Port Authority passengers and we have a dispatcher there to let us know if there are any issues. In the past to rectify late drivers, a dispatcher from New Brunswick has let us all on the bus without having to give any tickets. Now even though this is all well and good for us passengers, the dispatcher is basically costing the Coach USA company money by having us all ride for free. As a long time customer I have had to endure many bad situations from late drivers, to drivers who do not know how Crosstown services work when they make mistakes such as going to East Brunswick Transportation Center first when it's not Friday, to frigid bus temperatures, to no information at all. We are not allowed to walk into the dispatch office to inquire what's going on. They have told us we are not allowed inside and asked to leave and they have a sign up on the door as well stating it. The ticket booth employee never knows about what's going on with late or lack of buses. So we are left guessing or taking the port authority bus to transfer later at East Brunswick. All in all, we as Crosstown passengers at New Brunswick Park & Ride are beyond upset with the services here. Normally we have a regular driver who is not just on time, he is there before we are supposed to leave and the bus is always warm. I do not know his last name but his first is John. He is very courteous to us Monday-Thursday. However when he is not available we get drivers that are not good at all in customer service. All examples have already been described in this email. I am asking for some sort of change. I am asking for better quality. I am asking for better customer service towards the Crosstown services. Inform drivers and dispatchers of what customers are upset with and make the necessary adjustments needed for consistent service. As we know, the fare will be increased end of March. It is unfair as paying customers to not receive proper and fair service as other lines. If need be I will contact corporate with the same information I have provided today in hopes that it will not fall on deaf ears.

The best way to get into NY from the Holmdel - Middletown NJ area is by NJ Transit train. The…read moreMiddletown train station is located in the center of the town and offers express service into Newark and New York (Penn Station). The express trains get into NY in just over an hour. The locals take about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Only the locals stop at Newark Airport. There is lots of parking available but the daily lot just raised its price to $7 per day. Save some money and make sure that you buy your ticket before getting on the train. The ticket vending machines are located on the NY side of the tracks in the center of the platform. The ticket office is open during the week in the mornings. I always feel good about taking the train when it rolls by the Parkway and Turnpike and I see the traffic backed up in the morning. There are always seats available when getting on the train in Middletown. This is not always the case when getting on at either Hazlet or Matawan.

I lived in a one bedroom apartment of about 900 sq. feet and they packed what amounted to a total of 76 boxes. The crew of 3 guys arrived about 90 minutes earlier than I was expecting, but they prefaced their call from out front by acknowledging they were early and told me to take as much time as I needed before they came in. They were in and out in about 6 hours, which is what the assessor estimated when he came to do the initial inspection. Overall, these guys were so fast, efficient and professional, I bought them pizza and top blocked them on the survey they asked me to fill out after signing away all my possessions. My one concern is they didn't write anything down as I was telling them what was getting shipped versus stored, and they ended up putting my bed in storage versus shipping it. Fortunately, I caught it early enough on the inventory receipt that they were able to pull it from storage and get it shipped to my new address. For now at least, I'm very pleased with this company and their communication leading up to the move.

They broke the front door to the point where the hinges got ripped out of the frame. Upon delivery of my goods the foreman from their sister company found the goods were not packed properly in the container and everything was shifted and collapsed. They also never finished packing my furniture so instead of protecting corners and doubling up protective packaging there was a single sheet of wrap. The result was my coffee table and cabinets and two floor lamps (all designer pieces from French + Italian design houses) were busted. There were holes punched in metal, angled wheels sticking out of packing and they looked like they had been kicked across the ocean rather than carried safely in a ship. What happened next is even worse. Whatever you do do not buy insurance because they will do whatever they can to not make good on a payment. They will lie to you, accuse you of having furniture that was damaged before they touched it and insult you. I would never recommend this company they are horrible.

With the new congestion pricing going into effect January 2025 to drive anywhere below 60th street, this is a great option because public transit is where you will save money, thus what is being encouraged by the congestive pricing. I live in Goshen NY. To take the coach bus from as Goshen or Central Valley is $45 round trip, so its just worth it to drive the little extra distance here to save some money on the trip. On the way back you will be dropped off on the northbound side and you just have to cross over 17 using the pedestrian bridge to get back to your car. Also, the parking here is free, in case anyone is wondering. I think in the past you had to pay for parking prior to covid, as I saw some old reviews on yelp that said you had to pay for parking, which is no longer the case. I highly recommend this location.

Everything needs improvement! These trains are almost never on time. I mean their on time…read moreperformance is less than 1%. As passengers, we've refused to pay after the train that runs once an hour is cancelled and we have to wait for the next train which is usually late! Trains are run once an hour on lines with significant ridership and at stops with close proximity to NYC. The train will be delayed in transit by a guaranteed 7 minutes minimum. My "25 minute commute" into the city is rarely less than 40. If a train is late by more than 10 minutes, it's removed from the app and taken off the boards at stations with no explanation. At a busy station like New York Penn (NYP), that's a problem because now you have to listen for announcements and if you don't hear the announcement about the train, you miss it! Also, a train can be super late and if it remains in the app or pops back in by some miracle of God, the app says it's "on time". It's not on time. It's never on time. Diesel trains from the 1960s and 70s with wood paneling are still run by NJ TRANSIT. these trains don't have enough seating for rush hour but are consistently used. You can't board certain cars which at NYP is almost all of them which forces you to often walk nearly the entire length of the train just to find open doors through which to board. This also means that you have to walk the length of the train to find an available seat on the often underequipped trains. There's no signage at NYP showing which direction the train is leaving out of or even 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue like LIRR HAS, which means you have a 50/50 shot of sitting in the right place for your stop. Hazardous stations with crumbling stairs and no escalators are normal for NJ Transit. How you have elevated trains with no escalator, no functioning elevator, AND crumbling stairs is something I will never understand. Also, the station rooms for passengers to stay warm/cool have been permanently closed at some stops with elevated platforms. During FIFA match days, you can't get around Secaucus via public transport AT ALL because all the buses are routed to FIFA stadium. and the only trains that stop at Secaucus are for people going to the match (there's a separate line and boarding procedure for these trains that only run from NYP so you can't just get on it). So if you work there, good luck. During the most recent heat wave and following thunderstorms, my line lost service for 4+ days. And when it resumed, it was still running with "modified service" which translates to a train every 1-1.5 hours during rush hour. The app is trash. Can't even activate an adult and child ticket at the same time anymore. And the app suggests you buy tickets you seldom buy but the ones you buy most frequently are not in the suggested ticket section. Why?! It also requires you to run location services to function and runs location services as long as you have an activated ticket, which drains the phone battery. The buses have this ticket system that is zone based but you have to buy the ticket for the correct route and number of zones, which you have to figure out SEPARATELY because the app is trash. Ticket takers can be cool but there is definitely a percentage that walk through like prison guards announcing "tickets out". But given that it's NJ Transit, the trains feel like prison so they're just a reflection of the environment. Did I mention that the trains are rarely ever on time? I would give NJ transit negative 3,562 stars if I could. Don't move somewhere that you rely on NJ Transit to get around. You won't get there fast, if at all.
