All aboard! My trusty way to NYC and beyond! It's about 45 minutes to Penn Station, even with the…read morepit 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.

They have more single day ($10) parking spots now, accommodating the new reality of hybrid work, but still plenty of annual passholder parking spots. There are many lots, they may want to simplify it going forward. Nice space upstairs is an inside place to sit in bad weather with the ticket counter, an under track walkway to cross (does pool with water during rain), and lots of trains courtesy of being close to Summit and a few near express trains through to the city in less than 40 min to Penn Station.

Now that I'm actually at the station after my "rural" trip west I can understand way. The Hoboken train has been scheduled to leave in zero minutes for quite some time. There might be a reasonable explanation for why only one of three tracks is in use, but I can't see why that would render electronic signs incorrect. Maybe there's another AWS outage?

As a long time resident of the area I've been to and through this station countless times. Only…read moresimply part of South Orange the station is nice. The lobby itself is nice and fairly spacious but In more recent years it has become a safe haven for the homeless prompting the lobby to locked up after midnight. The warmth of the lobby is always welcome but there are back steps to access the platforms from the outside and even an elevator. The lobby windows hours are narrow being only 6am to 1pm so if you a special kind of ticket such as a bus pass you have to make it there during this time. It isn't open on weekends so if you work a regular job how are you supposed to get a ticket of this type? I know this is more of an NJ Transit issue but i think they should be more accomodating. Overall though its one of the better stations on this line and pretty well, kept up.

The vendors were mostly unremarkable, with very little that stood out or felt worth stopping for. There were also very few food trucks, which made the whole event feel even smaller and less lively than expected. If you're local, it might be worth a quick walk-through just to check it out, but I wouldn't recommend making any kind of drive for it. Overall, it just didn't live up to the hype.

I asked him for a round trip ticket to NY Penn Station and this guy printed & gave me a round trip ticket to ORANGE! Why?!?!? Is it because I was a black woman in Chatham and that is the only place I could possibly be going to at 7am in the morning?!?!? #clown Yes, I spoke clearly and loud enough to know what I asked for. Now when he gave me the tickets, I had a feeling the price was off, but since I haven't been on the train in months figured maybe it had changed or they were offering a discount!?!? Foolish of me to have thought that or not to have checked my tickets right then and there. I didn't know I had the wrong ones until I was already on the train. #clown So glad I'm no longer about this NYC commuting life anymore because between him and the overly privileged guy I sat next to on the train, who had no idea about personal space, I've had enough of NJT for a while!
