Yeah I wonder why the signs for 2,3 don't take you there though. Do they not consider the Park Place station as a part of the WTC hub or something?

Reply to The weekend Hoboken PATH stop can rot by akowz

For this reason, I very rarely take the JSQ-33rd train on weekends, always the WTC line (if it's operating at all that is). 7 mins and then subway to wherever in NYC.

Yeah it's time they declare Jersey City, Hoboken, Union City, Weehawken as a part of NYC at least for transit and planning purposes instead of Staten Island which didn't even make this picture.

Thank God they've finally moved on from a city "looking outwards" towards NYC to a city "looking within" and actually trying to improve as a city. We want to be a more inwards looking, independent city rather than having to depend on NYC for every small thing.

I don't know the exact ones to be honest. But anything on 6th, 7th and 10th streets seems extra busy on weekends. Maybe do some weekend-only traffic rules?

I guess there an overall increase in demand to live in Jersey City, with people moving within the city, moving from NYC to here and moving from elsewhere in the US to here. Overall the city's appeal has gone up. That reflects immediately in good neighborhoods like this one.

Yeah didn't think of that - speed bumps. Narrowing down sounds like a good idea but then you got to give the cars an alternative. I think the 6th Street has become a highway entry point or something. Overall poorly planned.

Yours is actually the popular opinion, there is this prestige attached with doorman buildings in the NYC area. Mine is the unpopular one of preferring walk-ups instead.

Reply to Weekend PATH service by ah73911

Every time I am inconvenienced by the PATH I remind myself that I don't pay the NYC city income tax of 4-5%.

And honestly if you pay attention to some individual NYC subway lines on the weekends, even they suck. Some just don't run, some have maintenance, some have terrible frequency (the F train is super crowded and has like a 12-15 min frequency on the weekends). A train frequency is like 20 mins - and they are all super crowded due to that. Plus the MTA stations are disgusting.

But yeah, the Hoboken stop needs to go. Give them their own train for the weekend. Or at least run a weekend JSQ-WTC with 10 min frequency so we can transfer over there (in addition to the NEW-WTC of 20 min freq).

We also need a JSQ-HOB service at some point. Its annoyingly hard to get to Hoboken on weekdays. (Its easier to just walk).

You lived in the wrong part of Jersey City. Newport is more of just a housing community for people who like to be close to work in Manhattan. Lots of nice old world charm in Historic Downtown, similar to the Hoboken vibe but with grown adults not college kids like in Hoboken.

Kinda underrated but you also get more space (more bang for your buck), often renovated. People actually pay 2700 for studios in luxury buidlings when they can get a 2 br in a walkup for the same price.

Yeah I haven't had any packages stolen in the 1+ year I've lived here, especially because our outer door locks too. (usually there is an inner+outer door to walkups) But I do have to be at home to buzz them in. I definitely have to plan around it and make sure I am at home during the delivery days. If its something too expensive I just pick it up from a locker.
