How long do you think it would take to commute from Montclair/Glen Ridge to the area around Grand Central station? I realize there is no direct train there but am curious how long it might take taking NJ Transit to Penn Station and then subway to Grand Central?

The Average commute is 35 mins to Penn Station and then another 10-15mins via the Subway to the GCT area depending on where you work.

Cars are the most convenient form of transport.
It's also the least enjoyable to use.
Whereas trains and walking are the most enjoyable.

Hey Nexis,
Any idea what's going on in terms of the Meadowlands rail and the Pascack Valley line on Superbowl Sunday? Where I can get a schedule, etc.?

Default rail guru, please, help

I have a question how long it's going to take to get to east 70th Street NYC from Marlboro NJ?? My husband is working there and we are looking to buy a condo in NJ, really like the marlboro area and prices for our budget, plus good school district and we already have 1 child and planning on another one. The main concern is how he will get to work on everyday basis??
