Hi everyone,

I will probably be in Paramus again at the end of August and would like to head into NYC for a day or two, we will have a car however wanted to know if there is public transport available. I have looked on the NJ Transit website and from what I see there is service to Penn Station NYC from Hoboken...but I'm not clear on how and where everything works.

Hopefully some locals can help me out a bit

Thanks!

Here is a link to the New Jersey Transit trip planner. It can provide both bus and train options.

thanks ellenem....i'll definitely check that out. But if anyone else has any other "tricks" lol don't be shy!

If you hadn't noticed it, here's a link to the enitre NJ Transit commuter train system. These trains might have more limited schedules during non-commuting hours.

This does not include the PATH train system, which is shown on the link that follows. The PATH system is more like a subway with stops both in New Jersey and Manhattan.

For many areas of New Jersey, the bus system offers the most frequent and comprehensive service to Manhattan. Here's a link to transport in Bergen County, where Paramus is located:

There are no tricks, Aucho.

The number 168 bus goes from Paramus (stop at the Paramus Park Mall, for example) to NYC (port authority). Takes about an hour.

Here's a PDF of the schedule, but the NJ Transit site also gives other options if you prefer to drive elsewhere to pick up a train instead of a bus, or a bus that originates elsewhere and stops in Paramus along the way

Awesome! thanks guys!

nyer- I will probably be staying right next to Paramus Park so that's super convenient for us!!

I appreciate your help guys!
