That's horrible, as if it is not hard enough to be low or middle class in this area.
They don't care as we just saw with the NJT hearings , Christie doesn't care either. If you look at all his cuts there pointed at the Middle & low class.

It's funny because before the election, all the threads I saw on here all were saying how much they wanted Christie in office. Now people wishing they didn't. That greener grass strikes again.
Is Guttenberg basicallly the same as Weehawken and West New York?
Dorian, yes. If you were to drive North on Blvd East from the Lincoln Tunnel, you are in Weehawken until you hit about 49th st, then it's West New York until 68th, then it's guttenberg until 72nd st, at which point it's North Bergen. The grid system ends at 90th St. (well except for 91st and 92nd, but they only exist down the hill) in North Bergen.
I will be trying to get to Newark, Jersey City, and New Brunswick. The more I look into this, the more and more it is looking like it will be a big hassle from Weehawken or West New York. I may just stick with Harrison or Secaucus.
From what you're describing, if you're going to be taking the train to get around, you should def live on the PATH line. Go with Harrison.
Secaucus would be alright if you are planning on driving to where you need to go, but don't expect to be using the Secaucus train station for commuting from Secaucus. First of all, it's a lot more expensive to get around then PATH. An NJT ticket from Sec to Newark is $4. A path trip from Harrison is $1.75. Second, the train station is built in a seperate area from any place people live.

As I have been looking at prices I have noticed NJTransit has been kind of pricey. Also I haven't seen any price listing for monthly passes and I have looked all over their website. I read on the website that students get half off whatever the monthly pass is, is that program going to get cut? I was thinking if I lived in Secaucus I would drive to the station and would catch one train as oppose to two, PATH and NJT, from Harrison. I wouldn't mind that time wise especially since Path is only 2 minutes, but I am worried about cost. I know the original purpose of Secaucus JCT was for train transfers, but it still doesn't make sense to me to put it so far out of the way of the town. Why not kill to birds with one stone and also provide a train stationless town with a station.

O, if you're commuting to New Brunswick, then Harrison might not be best, but I thought you were still going to Jersey City for school for a bit.
As for the train stationless town: all the train tracks converged at a point out in the swamp so it was a good call to create a switching station there. They didn't intend for people using it to commute because it's so out of the way and they didn't want to build the infrasturcture for people to drive up to it when they orignially planned it.

I will still be going to Jersey City for a shorter period of time then I originally expected. I will be going there until January, but would prefer to stay around the north Jersey area and will also need access to Newark. I'm kind of caught in limbo since I will be going to Hudson Community in Journal Square until late December, then I will be attending school in New Brunswick and also will need access to Newark and New York for work(I guess I could try to find another job.). It seems like I maybe asking for my price range.
Second, the train station is built in a separate area from any place people live.
Not true. the expense may be accurate but their are now several hundred units in the Secaucus Transit Villages and more to be built. Harmon cove and Harmon Towers have hundreds more within a half mile. Shuttle buses run to the station from all over the north and center of the town for little money. In addition, there is parking if you wish to drive to the station unlike most other area train stations.

What company runs the shuttles and where do they stop? Someone said that they think the parking is free for residence, do you know if that is true?
