[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another option would be to go into NJ along a train line that goes into Hoboken. Then you can take the PATH straight to WTC. I know lots of people who live in places like Summit so that they can take NJ Transit into Hoboken since they work downtown.[/quote]

Not an awful idea but I grew up in NJ (back when all trains had to stop in Hoboken - no direct trains to Penn Station back then). It adds up. Especially to the Seaport. Train to Hoboken. Walk to PATH (very short walk but still greater than zero). Wait for PATH. PATH to WTC. Fairly long walk over to Seaport. Lots of people do it and it is not the end of the world. But for someone used to living in the city who has to be in 5 days a week and wants to be able to get home to see the kids, it adds up, especially depending on how far out in suburbia you want to be.[/quote]

There's actually a ferry that runs directly from Hoboken Terminal to Wall Street on weekdays. The ferry is more expensive but it's very easy. The PATH and the NJ Transit station are all in Hoboken terminal so easy to switch from one to another.[/quote]

That is helpful and makes it slightly easier but still a long commute to be doing five days a week from the burbs, especially if you want to be getting home for little league games, band concerts, science fairs, etc. and you are used to being a subway ride away.[/quote]
