Consejos para la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Bus is $3.50 each way. See printed guide for more details.
Public Transportation
The studio is close to several transportation options taking you into NYC or other parts of NJ.
Buses are the fastest and easiest way to get to and from NYC from the Heights -- besides a ride-share service.
Download the Transit App for real-time bus schedules. In the morning, before 7 AM, there is very little traffic so you can be in the city in about 10-15 minutes. Of course, it all depends on traffic during peak rush hours and over the weekends, but you should be at 42nd Street/Port Authority bus terminal in under 30 minutes.
You must hail down the bus drivers.
