Commute from Paramus to NYC (Madison, Washington: real estate, houses, transfer)

[zizi7]

Hi, we've been searching for a house in Paramus and we hope somebody can give us an honest opinion about the commute to George Washington Bridge station by bus. Where are the bus stops in Paramus and what do you do when it's not whithin walking distance. Are there any parking lots close to bus stops? Our real estate agent told us many people just park at the mall parking lot. Is that true? My concern is when you park there at 6 am when the mall is still closed, do you get towed away or get a ticket? How long does it usually take to get GWB station during rush hour, is there a bus lane on the highway or does it get stuck in traffic? Thanks for any info.

There is a park and ride in the GS plaza that takes you to the GWB...check NJ Transit for routes and express times....no issues with parking. Depending on where you are in paramus, you can also try the park and ride on the GS parkway exit 165.

I don't know any of the detials myself but suggest you start with the NJ Transit website then also, and I don't like to promote the racists at Google, but Google Maps has bus and train stations and directions by mass transit online too.

there are several bus lines from there. My ex drives to teh Vince Lombardi service area then busses in and it is about 35 minutes to 23rd st and Madison.

The Park and Rides in Paramus will take you to the Port Authority in Midtown Manhattan, not the GW bus station. If you need to get to the GW bus station, then you will need to go onto the nj transit website to see which buses go there and you will most probably need to transfer buses.

My husband uses the buses at the Garden State Parkway to get into work. You would be able to find houses in the Paramus location near that area.
