Getting from JFK to new Jersey (Paris, train station, bridge, comparison)

[wastina]

I'm flying in to JFK and am heading to Jersey to visit a friend. She has advised that I should take a cab to WTC and change to the PATH train, to avoid the bridge toll.

I'm coming from overseas and will have been travelling for 24 hours by this time. The anticipation of planes, trains, and automobiles is rather exhausting.

Anyone have any better suggestions? I'm willing to spend the money not have to deal with multiple forms of transportation.... but how much is that, exactly?

Thanks!

if you can, fly into Newark International; much better airport than JFK, there is a train station connection for the train service in NJ...and it's in NJ!

I would take a bus from JFK to the Manhattan Port Authority and from there take another bus in New Jersey.

If you are already taking a cab, how much is the bridge toll by comparison? Sounds like eccentric advice to me.

Unless the price is REALLY unreasonable I would probably swallow hard and take the taxi the whole way. I hear what you are saying about wanting it to be over after a long flight.

Having said that- too bad you can't arrive in Newark. (I'm guessing you have tickets already).
