Also. I leverage google maps and then hop on NJT to plan my routes.

Awesome, thanks!

Thank you for letting me know!!

Thank you! Will do.

Thank you, this is very insightful.

Thank you!

Just as an FYI. If you’re not from around here, be prepared for insane crowds. Every asshole from miles around hits up the city bars and such, to say nothing of the madness that is Times Square and that entire clusterfuck of a neighbourhood. And add that to the assholes who live here already. And that’s on a Tuesday. On the weekends, it’s more insane and crowded. In New Year’s Eve?

It’s massive insane drunken crowds, all of whom are cramming into every mass transit available, because you are not getting a cab even if you’re paying with gold. Be prepared for really long, obnoxious waits. Make sure that whatever plan you have, you get out of the city first before trying to do anything else, no matter what that method is. If it’s the bus, do that. If it’s the rail, do that. Be prepared for random shit to be cancelled for no reason.

That said, you’re going from a mega huge city to another one. If plan A, B and E are all garbage or cancelled or massively delayed, plans C and D will work. It might be annoying, but you’re probably not going to get stranded unless a serious catastrophe happens. Once you’re back in NJ, someone is going to be headed to the airport, so you will find an Uber. In the years I’ve lived here, going around and nearby the airport is a nothing wait for me.

If your bus plan goes to hell, someone will know how to point you towards Penn Station, where you have both path trains and Nj transit trains. One of them will get you across the water to NJ.

worst case scenario path runs 24/7 you can take it to Newark Penn and then get an uber for like $20ish to where your staying

call the police please. I'll go by and take some pictures and call after work.

>police presence by Broad/Market for some time

They have a mini station there

FYI, the Airport Train Station is not accessible from Newark, only as a transfer between trains.

The 107 stops by Meeker Ave, the 107X does NOT.

Also, its not a nice area FYI.

They kicked out the exiting tenants, did a lot of knocking things down, and have done no work in 3-4 weeks since

From Newark Penn Station there is 24 hours transportation to NYC using Path or NJ Transit. From NewarkPenn Station you have UBER/Lift/ or local taxi companies (Golden Lincoln, Ecuamerica, and yellow cabs) to move around the city at a reasonable cost.

Familiarize yourself with the NJT app.

You're welcome. When the holiday gets a little closer, you can plug in your travel into the NJ Transit trip planner and that should give you the best option.

Yes, that is was I was seeing as well. Fingers crossed there will be extended operating hours! Others were suggesting the NJ Transit/PATH to ensure a way back, but it's difficult to figure out some of those routes/transfers online as someone who is fairly inexperienced with navigating public transportation. Thanks so much for your reply!

You should be fine with the 107 bus. NJ Transit will publish special schedules with extra service for New Years Eve in December. On the regular schedule there is a gap between 145am and 6am when there are no scheduled departures for the 107 but NJ Transit may add some for the holiday festivities.

Listen. I’m happy to support local business as long as they don’t newark their opening hours. Coffee shop? Let’s open from 9 am - 3 pm, and close on Mondays. Bodega? Let’s open either never even with the open sign turned on, or from 11 - 4 pm. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😐🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I guess so but I’d rather it be him than me. Good thing he was armed. Wouldn’t you say he saved lives.

I don’t have anger issues. And as the saying goes, I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I do understand your concerns I just don’t agree.

I’m sure you’ll do a great job stopping criminals. So many gun owners with these fantasies. Ain’t gonna happen. More likely you’ll end up killing someone that doesn’t have to die or some kid will get your get gun.

You make shit like this more likely: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2013/09/two-michigan-drivers-shoot-and-kill-each-other-after-road-rage-incident

More guns means more death. Simple fact. The majority of guns used in crimes in Nj come from out state. Simple fact. Carrying your gun increases your chance of dying and your chance of killing someone else. Simple fact.

Common sense gun laws won’t stop a criminal, they only stop law abiding citizens from arming themselves. Tell me what criminal you know of that follows the law.

I want to legally carry my firearm. Criminals don’t follow the law and the police are not obligated to protect you. I don’t want to be a victim, legally carrying a firearm makes sense.

Yeah I’ve read that too I believe it’s still the plan. That would be a great addition to downtown that would actually cater to native newarkers so I hope it happens.
