All aboard! My trusty way to NYC and beyond! It's about 45 minutes to Penn Station, even with the pit stops in neighboring towns. It's way better than playing "find the $60 parking spot" in Manhattan. Tickets are easy: NJ Transit app, the clerk, or the machine (which saves you from the conductor's fee). Covered benches included at no extra charge. :)
Sometimes I'll ride the train in and bus it back from Port Authority, depending on where I land. Kids under 12 ride cheap (under 4 is free), and if the city isn't your vibe, the train's perfect for town-hopping without the parking drama.
This station's safe and reliable, plus there's a little store right there for coffee, snacks, or even a lottery ticket. It's not fancy, but it's convenient and that's the point.
NOTES/TIPS:
**If you're ubering or lyfting, put in "Millburn On The Go" (the store noted above by the stairs to the NYC-bound side). If you type "Millburn Station," you'll end up on the wrong side of the tracks. Literally.
**Free parking on the west bound side after 6pm and all day on weekends. No parking 2-6am. read more
