Reply to comment by impracticable in DeCamp ends decommuter buses to NYC by rollotomasi07071

The PATH is only good if you're within walking distance of the Harrison Station or are transferring from a connecting service at Newark Penn. Frank Rodgers during rush hour is gridlock ,and it's like that for 2hrs in the morning and 2hrs in the evening. So driving down from Kearny might take 45-1hr...

What? No. Lol. This is an extraordinary and extreme exaggeration. I have driven in and out of the Harrison PATH many times during rush hour and it takes 10-15 minutes tops. The only time it’s gridlock is if there’s a Red Bulls game.

Is it? Traffic is backed up deep into the Ironbound and It's been like that during rush hour more so in the afternoon for the last 5 or 6 yrs. Game days are just the icing on the cake...

I have no idea what happens in Newark. This was about commuting from Kearny to Harrison, not from Newark to Harrison lol. I would imagine that the layout of the roads in Newark creates some heavy bottlenecks, though.

The problem is the traffic lights after Jackson St Bridge coming out of Newark work in funky out sync way.

Seriously from the bridge to the Harrison path station is a good 15 min to , plus all the bottle neck those light helped generate in Newark.

After the Harrison path station it tends to flow better.
