I am able to drive around Clifton to park around any bus stop that will take me into the city where i will then catch the F train .

Which bus stop in clifton is the quickest and most efficient into the city? I need to be at work by 8am. Does your bus run into traffic alot? What are the best times to hop on said bus.

For reference I am around van houten.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

You are probably going to want to take the 190X by the Richfield Shopping Center. It's going to take a minimum of 45 minutes in Rush Hour traffic, could take over an hour. Much more reliable would be taking the train into Penn. That will take you a maximum of 45 minutes on 90% of days. The 6:50 train will get you in at 7:35.

It's funny the station doesn't actually have an address. but its just off of Colfax by the corner of Elm and Clifton Terrace and there are 2 parking lots. one small right by the station and the other large one just down Clifton Terrace. At that time there is tons of parking available, maybe even in the small lot.

is there parking around that area or even residential parking?

For this particular bus how do fares work? cash? what's your equivalent of a metrocard?

i know my mother in-law takes a short white or blue bus into the city that goes on route 3. I still have to ask her what is about.
