I'm six foot one. I'm always hitting my head on things. Can't tell you how many times I've hit my head on the racks on the regular trains, getting up to leave half-awake when the train pulled into the station.

By the time I'm ready to retire I'm going to have dents in my skull.

Just remember driving you'll hit all that traffic in the Lincoln Tunnel going in, too many ppl driving into Manhattan as it is, causes 40+ min delays at the Lincoln going in to NYC, and its not uncommon to be sitting for more than one hour in traffic. I've taken NJT buses plenty delayed by these fools driving into NY. I think the tolls should be $20 per car!
Stick with the train but maybe a different line or PATH, the NE Corridor is much faster, and PATH is cheap.

Weekends are the worst at the Lincoln, actually.

I live near Dover and yes, NJ Transit will waste you time and money, especially with these latest fare hikes. 2 hours to Penn Station is absolutely ridiculous.

I suggest driving out to Harrison to take the PATH from that 97-year old station that they're talking about renovating sometime in the next few years. $7 parking across the street from the station, and $1.75 to get you to World Trade Center, or to Midtown after changing lines at Journal Sq.

Yet , 130,000 ppl still use that line .......blame your slow corrupt politicians for the semi slow service. We should have had a faster then by now and larger western Jersey network but Politics and corruption killed that.
