I'm sorry the trains are crowded but If you can't get the basics down, I respectfully suggest that you stop begging. Just a thought.

The best way to get into NY from the Holmdel - Middletown NJ area is by NJ Transit train. The…read moreMiddletown train station is located in the center of the town and offers express service into Newark and New York (Penn Station). The express trains get into NY in just over an hour. The locals take about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Only the locals stop at Newark Airport. There is lots of parking available but the daily lot just raised its price to $7 per day. Save some money and make sure that you buy your ticket before getting on the train. The ticket vending machines are located on the NY side of the tracks in the center of the platform. The ticket office is open during the week in the mornings. I always feel good about taking the train when it rolls by the Parkway and Turnpike and I see the traffic backed up in the morning. There are always seats available when getting on the train in Middletown. This is not always the case when getting on at either Hazlet or Matawan.

I must be taking a different ferry that the two above complainers. We're talking about the Belford…read moreFerry right ? Let's see. I've been taking it for 2 years now. I've been late twice.. By 10 minutes.. And only because the harbor was filled with ice. I usually catch the 730 or 800 am boats and it runs like clockwork. I can't believe the other poster complained about 4 minutes. According to NJ Transit their trains aren't considered late unless they are under 5 minutes, and claim an on time percentage of over 90%. I believe that. I also believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny. My only gripe is the cost. NY WW could easily fill another large boat if they lowered their costs just a little. Nevertheless, I'm never going back to the train, and sea streak parking is a mess.

FREE PARKING! Awesome spot to take a day trip to NYC. Round…read moretrip after tax is about $24 to Port Authority which takes about 30 minutes. With the new congestion pricing going into effect January 2025 to drive anywhere below 60th street, this is a great option because public transit is where you will save money, thus what is being encouraged by the congestive pricing. I live in Goshen NY. To take the coach bus from as Goshen or Central Valley is $45 round trip, so its just worth it to drive the little extra distance here to save some money on the trip. On the way back you will be dropped off on the northbound side and you just have to cross over 17 using the pedestrian bridge to get back to your car. Also, the parking here is free, in case anyone is wondering. I think in the past you had to pay for parking prior to covid, as I saw some old reviews on yelp that said you had to pay for parking, which is no longer the case. I highly recommend this location.

Spending most of my life a little further north, New Brunswick train station was my go to. The parking lots there charge hourly unless you can find street parking or it's Sunday. This being a cheap option, especially since most are still on a hybrid commuting schedule, it may also be an option to not have to get a parking permit, so that's a win! The station is well lit and there is a nice amount of traction during commuting hours which is nice so you don't feel alone. The platform is outside so dress appropriately for the weather.

Ya gotta love Yelp when I found a text for the "10 best train stations in Princeton Junction"…read moresitting in my inbox. As the ONLY train station in Princeton Junction, maybe it's time to update my review. Pre-pandemic this station was subject to horrendous overcrowding and grossly inadequate parking for the Wall Street bedroom community money changers that rose pre-dawn for their daily migration into lower Manhattan. Currently, with WFH still lingering and the exit of many financial houses to the tax free climes of Florida, parking is far easier and in true close the barn door after the horses have run off fashion, a new multi-level parking deck is being constructed to accommodate the waning demand. As for the station, I would offer that clubbing and reverie is not what you're here for. A small coffee shop, ticket machines and wooden benches are your VIP amenities and IF (and it's a big if) the trains are on-time it's 60 minutes (more or less) into the bowels of Penn Station. All aboard, or should I just say, bored. Decent and functional snares four stars for the Junction. In any case, it still beats driving by a mile.
