Unless you live in or north of Glen Rock and have service on both the Main and Bergen lines, this is basically it. As a lifelong Glen Rocker, I have the luxury of knowing I can basically afford to wait 15 minutes if I miss my train because I can just walk 2 blocks to the other station. Most people don't have this.

As someone who doesn't have this, I'm somewhat envious. https://goo.gl/maps/jRyqfQ67BdEkLHhv5

What are the waits like if you need to transfer in secaucus or hoboken?

They usually leave from the same Island platform at Secaucus so it's not a big deal, and Hoboken is the terminus, so you just look at the departure board.

Going to the city, you need to transfer at Secaucus, which will usually have trains every 10 or 15 minutes. Coming home from the city is the bigger issue. Both lines go directly to Hoboken.
