On rainy days it's been great to sit under the rooftop that's provided and there is a grassy area to hang out in as well until your train comes. It's nice to sit and read, listen to music, and play games on your phone until your train arrives. I don't dislike this train station as much as I did my first time around. I think it just left a bad first impression.

Cute little train station in the heart of downtown Chatham New Jersey. Negatives of this train…read morestation are that the parking is relatively limited so you better come early if you're not a monthly parker. Also they're pretty much at zero amenities at the station house. The hours are limited and so if you have to go to the bathroom make sure you plan ahead. Also there are not even any vending machines or snack food options.

Great train station but the guy at the ticket booth I came across this morning was a complete waste…read moreof space!! Too busy on his phone to do his job. You had ONE JOB man!! I asked him for a round trip ticket to NY Penn Station and this guy printed & gave me a round trip ticket to ORANGE! Why?!?!? Is it because I was a black woman in Chatham and that is the only place I could possibly be going to at 7am in the morning?!?!? #clown Yes, I spoke clearly and loud enough to know what I asked for. Now when he gave me the tickets, I had a feeling the price was off, but since I haven't been on the train in months figured maybe it had changed or they were offering a discount!?!? Foolish of me to have thought that or not to have checked my tickets right then and there. I didn't know I had the wrong ones until I was already on the train. #clown So glad I'm no longer about this NYC commuting life anymore because between him and the overly privileged guy I sat next to on the train, who had no idea about personal space, I've had enough of NJT for a while!

I was going to try boxcar for the month of June given the World Cup issues. I paid $40 monthly fee…read moreand made my reservations. They cancelled every single one of them due to the World Cup and refunded me for the trips but not the monthly. They delivered on no services but leaned on a no refund policy to keep the subscription fee. Not their fault, but certainly not my fault. Not cool, in my opinion. Update. A VP from boxcar called and resolved the issue. They looked at the issue and resolved it. More companies should operate this way

Once upon a time, an innovative entrepreneur named Joe Colangelo came up with an idea: He would…read moreprovide a luxury bus service which would be an alternative to NJ Transit. In particular, the routes would serve areas with mediocre service. The NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line doesn't have direct service to New York Penn Station during rush hour. Instead, riders have to transfer at Newark Penn Station- and that transfer entails walking up to a mezzanine, passing through the mezzanine, walking down to another platform, and waiting for an overcrowded connecting train. The Boxcar Raritan Rocket remedied this problem. It stops at Fanwood, Westfield, Garwood, and Cranford before heading nonstop to Midtown Manhattan. The Ridgeliner, which stops at Berkeley Heights, New Providence, and Summit, is an alternative to the infrequent Gladstone Branch. There are quite a few other Boxcar routes. The Boxcar buses are comfortable (albeit too cold in the summer). Most seats have outlets. And there's a restroom (it has a generic weird cleaning fluid smell). And with that said, I DON'T recommend Boxcar. It's more expensive than NJ Transit. Furthermore, even though it's a one seat ride, it's slower than NJ Transit. Traffic crawls on the Garden State Parkway, NJ Turnpike, and in the Lincoln Tunnel. The convenience of a one seat ride isn't worth getting to work late. The biggest problem is that the buses simply aren't frequent enough for Boxcar to be a viable option. Life happens and plans can change on a whim. If you miss your scheduled bus then you're screwed. Ironically, you'll have to take NJ Transit. Boxcar is a great idea, but it's not practical for most commuters.

The train station itself is pretty small and parking is a complete pain during commuter hours, and it's the main reason for my low rating... I ended up parking here Friday night because it was located near the restaurant where I was meeting friends, and I couldn't find any parking elsewhere. It was past commuter hours so there was plenty of parking. Unfortunately I did not have any quarters to feed the meter (24 hour paid parking cruel!) but I noticed there was a QR code on the meter. Well, if you don't have quarters, good luck. The QR code was for a parking app, and I've used parking apps in the past... this is the worst one. It kept running very slow and needed a lot of input right away. Not only was I late to meet friends because of this, but this parking lot is very dark at night. I don't care if I'm in the lowest crime rated city in America, being in a relatively deserted parking lot when it's dark out, by yourself, trying to get something on my phone to work- definitely made me feel vulnerable and unsafe. They should really get the parking machines that towns like Westfield have, where you input the parking space number and pay, it generates a ticket and you're good to go. The app was not convenient at all, and if it's not convenient for the customer, then it's for sure a money grab. I believe the app is designed to eliminate people being able to use the extra time the meter has on it from the previous person. 2/5

My visit here was on October 5, 2019. After some issues debarking the cruise due to technical issues, we got to our driver to get us back to southern New Jersey where we would be staying for a few days before going home. All of us needed to use the restroom, so we stopped at this rest stop. This was a typical rest stop, but not like others I have seen in New Jersey along the turnpike. This rest area had a convenience store and gas. Many of the others have more options than a convenience store, such as fast food restaurants and the such. The good thing is that we weren't looking for any food items, just the restroom. The restrooms here were clean and maintained, which you don't always find at rest areas. The inside was your typical convenience store, but a bit larger. There's lots of snack and drink items here if you are looking for that kind of stuff. There is a Sunoco gas station at this rest area as well if you need gas. Gas was not needed at this time, so there was no stop there. Overall, this was just a rest stop. If you need to get some gas, use the restroom, or just get a few snack type items, this would be a place to stop. Further down, it seemed quite a few of their rest areas were closed for renovations. Although there was nothing to wow me about this place, it did get the job done and back on the road to my destination.
