No. A 2.5 hour layover is really a 1.5 hour layover considering international flights board 1 hour before the scheduled departure.

Liberty State Park would be the best view for the statue and that would be a 30-40 ride in Friday rush hour traffic. That's 1 hour and 20 minute round trip. Once you get back to the airport, you then have to go through security again, at Newark Airport, on a Friday when everyone want to get out of town for the weekend.

There's no chance you can make it to the statue and back in time.

Crime is trending up nation wide in deep red and blue areas , places with strict policing and places without... A lot of it is tied to Mental Health and certain politicians egging on the mentally unstable.

It certainly has . They are down about a thousand officers. I just had some incidents in downtown recently ( shop widow cracked by people fighting), and before that 2 weeks ago the same widow was cracked by some fucktard. Police only showed up after the perpetrators left, almost like that every time you call NPD l. I talked to the officers very upset, i almost yelled at them. They told me to calm down and explained to me how it's only two officers patrolling the downtown area (from symphony hall to broad Street station). It's out of control, while going on lunch break I recorded some shittty situation lol ( literal shit in downtown) i wanted to post it on here , but it's inappropriate.

Based on the registration, this is the same helicopter that was apparently conducting powerline inspection; taking high-resolution images of all components... hovering low above Amtrak rails west of Newark, DE back in late 2020. It may be doing the same thing now.

That said, u/relampagos_shawty may be onto something. New season of railways gone wild coming next fall, maybe?

No. Newark airport to Jersey city is 40 minutes alone - that doesn’t include waiting for anything.

Coming back into the airport you’ll have to go through tsa - which can also take 40 minutes (I’ve gone through it in 15 minutes and I’ve gone through it in 45).

In northern nj 15 miles = 45 minute drive. And maybe at 3am on Tuesday, an Uber can make it to JC in 15 minutes- but not normally.
