Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC?

I am taking a bus into this terminal. I will then need to get to Jersey City. Are taxi's easy to get from here? Also, anyone know how much a taxi would be from here?

Thanks!

Expect to pay $50+ for a taxi. There's a stand right in front, though it usually has a line.

For much less money, you could take the PATH train from 33rd Street/7th Ave. for $1.50 if you don't have a lot of luggage. You can take a taxi to the PATH for $5 or $6.

From where are you coming? There are buses at Port Authority that go to Jersey City.

There are indeed PATH trains (like a subway) that go to Jersey City, but if you've got luggage, it may be easier to take the bus (~$3). Where in Jersey City are you going? That could make a difference too.

Sorry that link won't work. Go to njtransit.com and look at bus schedules from Port Authority to Jersey City.

That's so true, mclaurie. I kind of forgot the obvious solution. The Port Authority is a BUS station, after all.
