NYC Commute From Warren - Lakeland Bus (Summit, Berkeley Heights: moving to, authority)

[jaems]

Hi. I'm considering moving to Warren and wanted to see if anyone could share some info and their experience taking the Lakeland bus. I know there's a park and ride at Warren Corp building with an express bus at 6:45. Does this bus typically fill up or are there plenty of seats? The bus at King George and Valley also seems to be a good option. Is there anywhere to park a car near that stop? Schedule lists travel time at :50 which is pretty good. How long does it usually take? I take a NJT bus now and I know my trip varies from :35 (rare) to 1:00 (or much longer if traffic is really bad).

Appreciate the help.

I can't help you much with Warren, but from Berkeley Heights the 6:05 a.m. Lakeland is typically and pretty consistently an hour to Port Authority. It makes local stops to Summit, then goes express. On the 5:30 home, the times vary more, from an hour on the shortest end, to an hour and twenty minutes. Maybe once or twice a year there's something that will push it longer. There's no parking in this town for the bus or train until you've waited three years or so for a parking permit. Just from visits to Warren, I think the parking situation might be a little better. Hopefully someone else will chime in.


Oh. Schedule lists the travel time as 55 minutes in our case, iirc.

Thanks for the info. It does give me some reference so I appreciate it.
