I'm not totally sure what you're referring to. EDIT: misread, I see which one you are talking about. The first 3 are in reference to Paulus Hook

If its the lot that is at 55 Hudson, it's permanently closed.

If its the lot under Goldman Sachs, I am unsure if that has public access.

If this is a garage, I suppose they exist though they are not as near. They are ludicrously expensive.

Marin Blvd does have parking near Surf City, but I do not think you are referring to this ferry, based off your description. Edit: you are. Though, the below still stands

None of these are free.

Also, unless your job is giving you a free ferry ride, paying for parking + the unsubsidized ferry would be astronomical. Not even accounting for gas. You didn't specify where you are coming from, but I think you would waste more time finding parking, walking to the ferry, waiting for the ferry, being on the ferry, etc, than just taking PATH and doing some extra walking. That walk is almost entirely indoors as well. There is a connected path from Broomfield Place (right next to that Pier) to WTC. So it's not unpleasant.

Save yourself gas, money, and time, and take PATH.

I'm intimately familiar with the PATH commute - I've been doing it for years. Just looking at alternatives. Cost isn't really an issue, since it's basically the same price for me to take NJ Transit to the PATH as it would be for me to pay for parking and the ferry. I drive an EV so I don't pay for gas.

I thought the parking lot for the ferry was between the Zeppelin Hall lot and the water, close to the RV Park. Looking at google maps it looks like it might be the one by Surf City, actually.

Yes you are right.

I still don't know where youre coming from on NJ Transit. One factor you should account for is that traffic is absolutely terrible leaving from JC at rush hour. Unless you leave at 3pm or 7:30pm.
