Public Transportation
Get a quick run down on all the ways to get to the Big Apple:
LIRR
The Long Island Railroad provides access to New York City from various locations in Long Island — the furtherest stop being Montauk. The LIRR is named the busiest commuter railroad in all of North America.
LIRR trains make stops at Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station.
LIRR fares vary depending on the length of the commute. Tickets can be purchased either on the TrainTime app or at any LIRR station.
The LIRR operates 24/7, but it is important to note that service can be limited overnight. On some routes, the last train runs shortly after midnight, with no additional service until the early morning.
NJ Transit + PATH
NJ Transit and PATH provide access to New York City from various locations in New Jersey. NJ Transit trains run from destinations as far as Trenton and the Jersey Shore, and PATH serving closer hubs such as Hoboken, Jersey City, and Newark. NJ Transit is one of the largest statewide public transit systems in the country, while PATH operates as a rapid-transit system connecting key points in New Jersey to Manhattan.
NJ Transit trains arrive at Penn Station, and PATH trains stop at either the World Trade Center or 33rd Street in Midtown.
NJ Transit fares vary depending on the length of the commute, while PATH charges a flat fare. Tickets can be purchased on the NJ Transit Mobile App, at station kiosks, or by using contactless payment for PATH.
Both NJ Transit and PATH operate 24/7, but it is important to note that service can be limited overnight. On some lines, trains run less frequently, and passengers may experience longer wait times until the early morning.
