Decent train station. The Pascack Valley train stops here, and the 175 bus as well. It's somewhat…read moreclean, no offensive smells and whatnot. Sometimes there's leftover newspapers on the seats and ground. The shelter is partially open air so bundle up during the colder months. The surrounding area is bustling, with lots of restaurants and Rite Aid across the street. There's also a decent bar next door. Parking is okay, free overnights and weekends. There is permit parking during the day (not run by NJ Transit) that's $120 every quarter.

Last Friday, as first-timers, my partner and I took the New Jersey Transit train into New York City…read morefrom Garfield without the hassle of driving and parking. Only a couple of minutes from the house, parking wasn't an issue in their spacious lot and was free. The train arrived on schedule as it was a fast, efficient, and reasonably priced way to get into NYC despite changing trains at Secaucus Junction. One should buy their tickets before boarding, although they can sell them to you on the train for a fee. They are also sold through machines at the stations. Our tickets were easily purchased the night before via their website. The return trains back to Jersey from Gotham can be crowded during rush hour. It might be hard to get a seat. There can be times when the signals aren't working in our favor and you sit, waiting for another train to pass. Overall, our experience and the service were pretty good.

It's the worst. They bill themselves as the best ferry in the world but they are wrong. I've taken…read morethe Hong Kong ferry to commute to work and it is a lot better. It's always on time and it is cheaper. About 25cents each way. This ferry runs on its own schedule and is never on time. The captain of the ferry I take loves to hit the dock when he comes in. You are jolted around. Take the ferry before the one you think you should take so you can get to city in time for whatever you want to do. At $336 a month this Another week and more delays. The 915am ferry is not here. Can't even see it coming. This is the WORST FERRY IN THE WORLD!!!

Is there anything better, on a prematurely warm and sunny not-quite-spring day than taking the…read moreferry home? Aaah yes, taking the ferry home on a Friday that also happens to be a prematurely warm and sunny not-quite-spring day. The ferry is too expensive to be a part of my daily commute. Comparing the $5.50 ride from World Financial Center to Jersey City (Paulus Hook) with the $1.75 PATH ride between World Trade Center and Exchange Place, you can see why the ferry is the Rich Man's PATH. Or, the poor man's cruise ship. Even the ferry terminal at World Financial Center is luxurious, at least compared to a PATH station. It's floating, and has a little balcony on the water where you can soak up that precious March sun while you wait for your ship to come in. It even had a nice clean bathroom, if you can handle the motion of the ocean. The PATH can't compare. The ferry ride takes about the same amount of time as the PATH ride (7 minutes from WFC to Paulus Hook). But unlike the five minutes you'll spend on the PATH, you can feel the salty wind in your hair, and the sun on your face, unless of course you get the boat where the upper level has been enclosed. But, still, you can pretend your itinerary takes you to somewhere more exotic than your average PATH stop... maybe Venice. A tourist you're not, but remember that some people travel far and wait a lifetime to glimpse these sights... the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Colgate clock, the tallest building in New Jersey, the tallest building in New York, cruise ships and tall sailing ships, all that and you can be home in time for dinner.
