Bayonne-to-1585 Broadway commute

  • Route (shortest winter walk): light rail to Exch -> WTC -> subway #1 or #NRW (both frequent and both with seat).
    • πŸ™‚ 5 times it took me 50 min from boarding HBLR to hitting 49-St station.
    • πŸ™‚ stand for 3 min only XP->WTC
    • πŸ™‚ more frequent trains at ExchangePlace
    • 8:46am light rail. Hit 49th St @9.27am
  • Route (fastest): light rail to Grove -> either WTC or 33rd -> subway.
    • Route (cheaper): light rail to Grove/NP -> 33rd -> citibike
    • πŸ™ long-standing
  • Route (cheaper + seat): light rail to Hob -> 33rd -> citibike or subway
  • about 45 – 60 min to office. Train movement time is 20 + 14 min ~= 35 minutes… but there are multiple risks:
    • risk β€” missing a train
    • risk β€” train slower by more than 2 minutes
  • 8.25 tram – 9.10 via NP. No wait for PATH or citi bike
  • 8.06 tram – 8.56 via Grove.
  • 8.04 tram – 8.53 via NP without wait
  • 8.25 tram – 9.15 via NP
  • 8.25 tram – 9.10 via NP

Another guy told me Weehawken is more expensive even on the hills, but I believe there are cheaper rooms.
