Re: If you work in Jersey City and commute

DH's company moved to Jersey Jan 09 from Midtown. I hear alot of companies will be doing this...

He takesthe express bus from Whitestone usually @7am...then the path..his office is RIGHT where he gets off usually it takes 1hr-1.15min to get in in the morning.

On the way home IF he can get out by 5pm (rare) he can catch a 5:30 super express (goes straight to Whitestone, no stop, quicker route) bus and he gets home @ 6:10. If he does not get this bus the bus ride takes anywhere from 45-1hr (sometimes longer in traffic, on fridays).

While it takes a little longer it is not as bad as he anticipated. Also, he prefers working in Jersey City bc he was sick of NYC's crowding, hustle and bustle..thats his personality though

A friend of mine used to live in Brooklyn and her DH works in Jersey City.
His commute was about an 1 hour & 15 mins.

Re: If you work in Jersey City and commute

Im in SI and your right, we DO have it easy Chat Icon

What I would say to you is consider how long it will take you to get to Midtown from your starting point. Then add 15 min for the PATH over to JC.

The people in my office that commute from Brooklyn have an hour and a half (tops) commute.

Where in JC are we talking? Exchange Place? Newport Pavonia?
