Depends on where you’re starting from. From my town, it’s about $8.50 each way to/from Penn Station, and it’s usually a 35-40m ride (edit: assuming NJTransit is on time, lol), with roughly hourly trains on weekdays and every 2h (plus a transfer) on weekends.
If you’re starting from down in (e.g.) Princeton, though, it’s going to be more like $19.
Yes, but it’s not a huge savings. 10% on a weekly pass (so only worth if if you’re coming in all 5 days) and maybe 25% for a monthly (assuming you’re in 20 days in the month).
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the average fare of getting from NJ to NYC by train?
Hoboken to Manhattan on the PATH is 2.75$.
Isn’t that a street fighter move?

Is there some kind of monthly transit pass you can buy to make it cheaper overall for regular users?
