i live on the west side just west of mcginley square. i take a bus to journal square to get the path when i need to get into the city. there are 3-4 bus lines that all stop at jsq that i can get right at the end of my block.

Outside of commutes directed toward the city, do you use the bus, walk, bike or drive for commuting within Jersey City?

within jersey city usually depends - honestly i uber/lyft to save time. sometimes will take the bus if i know i have the time to do it but i hate having to build an unknown amount of commute time into whatever i’m doing. i’m usually going downtown for an appointment so i can’t be late and prefer uber/lyft for that reason (as opposed to bus which is unpredictable, as half the buses i can get are a&c and therefore not on the njt app bus tracker. i also find the tracker unreliable). otherwise i will drive myself in my own car, usually when running errands on weekends.

This is helpful context. One last question, would you change anything about your travel options when you have to commute within Jersey City or to the city?

i mean, in a perfect world? yeah, we’d have a rail system throughout jc comparable to the subway. but i’m biased as i’m from new york and lived in queens for ten years before moving to jersey city and have always felt the public transit here falls very short compared to nyc. understand there are a lot of factors that go into it but i’m speaking from a place of pure idealism, even fantasy.
