Wayne Park and Rides (how much, cost, bus)

[NJGuy9]

I was wondering if anyone can fill me in on the following questions regarding park and rides in Wayne:

1.) When they add a parking fee, how much will it be per month?

2.) Is there every a problem getting a spot at any of the three park and rides in Wayne? If so, what time in the morning do the lot(s) fill up?

Thanks!

Can anyone provide some help with this question? Thanks

i only used the park and ride once at willowbrook, and i dont think we paid for the parking, just the tickets for the bus which was $11 round trip.

They will start charging for parking on March 1st 2008 to cover NJ transit cost at all 4 wayne(willowbrook/route 46/route 23) park n rides. I am hearing daily will be $2 and montly will be $25 (I read this in this past saturdays paper). Also some spots will be for montly parking only. I think that will be an issue cause if all the monthly spaces are taken then you are forced to use a daily space which is not cost effective if you park there everyday. I use to park at the Mothers route 23 north lot and it never was full (approx. 900 spaces) and I use to get there sometimes at 730am and late as 2pm when I wanted to go into NYC. link is below

Does anyone know what times daily Willowbrook Park & Ride spots fill up or how quickly monthly passes sell out? I get on a bus around 9 am and Wayne Transit Center is filled up. Also, monthly parking passes were sold out several days prior to month I wanted.

It seems in order of quality of service (commute time and bus frequency), the Park and Rides are ranked as follows:

1) Willowbrook

2) Wayne Transit Center

3) Mothers (doesn't even run after 9:45 so you will have to presumably pay for parking at another lot if you leave then even if you paid for a monthly pass)
