Hi,
Im am looking to move to Westwood ( Mill St specifically) this spring/summer, but am a bit concerned about commuting to Manhattan.
What is the cost and schedule like for the train to Manhattan.
What is the cost for the monthly NJ bus pass.
Is there an Express NJ transit but to from Westwood fro Port authority?
I live in North Bergen currently and regarding NJ transit, coming back into NJ during rush hr is crazy ..such unreliable service, those lines are ridiculous most times. Is it any better to commute to Westwood using NJ transit Bus.
2. I have a 4 yr old that will attending public school soon. How good are the schools in Westwood?
I would really appreciate any advice, tips and anything you can share with me regarding Westwood.
I lived in Westwood almost 18 years, my wife about 40. we just moved to Arizona in October. All the kids went to the schools. Your gonna love it. The schools are good, downtown is great. You have nothing to worry about. If you have any questions let me know.
During Rush Hour theres the NJT 165FP which stops at Mill Street and 3rd Avenue , 165T and 165R which you get in Downtown Westwood. Coach US runs routes 46 , 14K, 14ET , 11T, 11AT to 42nd Terminal from the Downtown Westwood stop....you also have the train station. For Access to Lower Manhattan its best you use the train to Hoboken and switch to the PATH which takes about 70mins... The Bus could push that to 90 to 120mins.
The train would be more reliable than the bus, because waiting for the bus at Port Authority is ridiculously long most times. ( at least for the Gate 212, which is what I take to get me to North Bergen/Wall Street right now.
Does Pascack Valley Train Line include a transfer to the Path at Hoboken? or do I have to purchase two separate monthly passes , in addition to my Metro Card?

When I take NorhtEast Corridor (NJ Transit) train to Newark & transfer for the PATH I have to have a NJ Transit ticket & also buy a Metro Card to use to get on to the PATH train.
I would assume the same is true for all the NJ Transit train lines.
