Bridgewater - NYC Commuter w/Questions (Raritan: living, buses, moving to)

[JAYB403]

Hello!

My family and I will be moving to Bridgewater this summer. I've been looking at options for commuting (I'll be working in Manhattan). It looks like the best option is to catch the train at either the North Branch or Raritan stations. A few quick questions...

How is the parking at either station? I see it's free at North Branch but only ~40 spaces...

Are their better options out there? I think the bus will be a pretty lengthy commute...

My wife and I have read and heard a lot of good things about Bridgewater but I was curious to know if anyone has some "insider" info they could pass on?

Thanks in advance!

Where in bridgewater do you live you may not even have to driva at all. The best station is raritan due to frequent service. Rail pass lets you use all NJT buses and light rail lines at no extra charge

The lot in North branch is always full. Suggest the lot at Commerce ballpark or Raritan if it is close to your Bridgewater home.

We'll be living near North Branch Park so the Raritan station is pretty close by. Is the parking lot pretty slammed there as well?
