Depends on what part of Manhattan you're going to. My wife worked in FiDi and took the ferry. It was pretty reliable. Always on time. Packed some days but she was always able to get a seat. She said if she was working in midtown, the train would've been the better choice because Penn Station is right there. Commute times on paper look longer on the train, but it's all a matter of where you want to go. Keep in mind the ferry is way more expensive than the train, even with the multi-trip book. Oh, and the ferry does go to midtown, but again, it's all about where your final destination is and how much time and money you're willing to pay.

Definitely depends on your final destination in the city. Keep in mind the ferry is much more expensive than the train, but you can’t beat it as a commuting method (unless you get sea sick!)

Definitely second on the ferry, if you can afford it. Otherwise, NJT NJCL is your next best bet.

My husband takes the ferry in twice a week and LOVES it. It's clean, safe and easy.

If I was further up the line, I’d take it. But I’m not, so I suffer the train.

Ferry would be first choice because it drops you off right near Wall St. But the train to Penn then Path to WTC is another option. Longer commute time but less expensive.
