It happens because so many people are selfish and feel the unnecessary need to drive when they should be taking a train, ferry, or bus. Zero sympathy for the idiots who choose to drive in JC when there are so many other options.

Really depends where you’re going - I’m generally headed to upstate New York and gps sends us through the tunnel. Can go up to the bridge and then try to get on 87 but really limited options in general. Getting to the city via PATH lately has been ok but incredibly crowded and if you’re buying anything getting back with packages is a nightmare. We have legit fedexed things from shops in the city because of it.

Why would you go through NYC to get to upstate NY? Lol. Take the turnpike to GW and get off in fort lee and trasnfer onto the Palisades Parkway (no tolls if you enter the turnpike from Route 3). Takes you into upstate NY. If you need to be on the eastern side of the Hudson in NY cross over the Tappan Zee or Cuomo bridge, whatever the hell it's called now

because sometimes its faster or I have to pick someone up from the city or a host of reasons. it’s what it is. but the point being that not all traffic through the tunnel is people who can use public transit to get where they’re going.
