Reply to comment by ApplicationNo2506 in Living in Weehawken, working in Greenwich Village. Are the buses and ferry the only transportation options? by karuso2012

Are the buses pretty reliable?

Depends on the part of town. In the Bluffs, you would be taking the boulevard east buses which are pretty terrible. They get super packed so you should expect to stand and have full buses pass you. In the heights you would be off the 123 route which is not too bad. I am less familiar with the waterfront & shades area, you would either be taking the 126 or the river road buses, they run very frequently and probably aren’t a bad option.

It would be the Port Imperial area.

I would do light rail to Hoboken then PATH to the city. You could try the buses as well. The problem with the buses isn’t the reliability but how crowded they get. Weehawken is the last town before NYC so by the time the buses get there sometimes there’s not even standing room left. Also the lines at the Port Authority on the way home are not the most fun way to end your workday. The train is lower stress.

The ferry is arguably the best way if it works for you. It’s just super expensive (like 3 or 4x more than the alternatives).
