I wouldn't want to pay $40-50 round trip on NJT from Hoboken to the Shore. In addition the amount of transferring that one has to do on the weekends is unbelievable -- it can eat up so much time.
We can admit:It's insanely expensive for a less than ideal transit network.
Theres a direct train from Hoboken to the shore , and its 25-30$ round trip , along with free beach access and other shore discounts due to NJT....
Why though , Hoboken is denser then Manhattan...same with most of Urban Jersey....most Newark and Jersey City Residents at least 60% of them use Public Transit or Alt Transit ....then you have a small % of Hoboken residents....which is strange. Bayonne has a higher transit usage then Hoboken...most Urban Jersey residents use there cars once or twice a week....but it seems daily for Hoboken Residents...
it's sadly not a very pedestrian or bike friendly town. visibility at intersections is horrible. streets are narrow. cars park right up to the corners. i think if they worked on making it look more open and appealing to walk around, people would ditch in-city car trips completely.
also - many people lilve in Hoboken but work somewhere in NJ that they drive to.

Hoboken > Manasquan is $11.50 each way on NJ Transit. No connections. My friend does it every weekend. Who the hell wants to sit on the Garden State Parking Lot to get to the shore, spending damn near $50 on gas and tolls ONE WAY?!

I took the hoboken to manasquan train once it did indeed cost $11.50, I ended up with a tan, a hangover, a wife and 2 kids.
But go where? Most of this region has good Transportation and Hoboken is the end of all NJT lines..
public transportation is for people who cant afford cars. id rather drive to my destination then try to figure out how to get there with a train and a bus and then how to get around the area when im there.
my brother lives in hoboken. he likes it. he has parking in his building and is looking to buy a second car.
