Great station, easy to get to and cheap parking. Arrive before the rush hour crowd otherwise plan on extra time for parking.Upvoted Mar 13
Evan SchukisJune 26, 2011Heading to new york or points north? If you park on the third floor you can use the pedestrian bridge and easily walk to the platform.Upvoted Mar 7
VIMay 3, 2012Get here early & park in the overflow lot! Saves you time & distance. But if u did get there midday.. do yourself a favor drive up to 6 or 7th floor & don't waste time thinking there is parking lower!Upvoted Feb 21- VIJune 11, 2012Head to the west garage! Look for parking there first & during midday don't expect a parking space on the lower floors! Have comfortable running shoes & get ticket the night before! Save u the stairs!
Watch where your walking I actually got hit the other day and the guy drove off. People don't watch for pedestrians walking to their cars in the decks.
If you are just picking or dropping off someone in off peak hours there is a parking lot with free 20 minute parking
Perrin BisognoOctober 13, 2011My job requires me to be punctual and I take NJ transit. I make it to work on time because I know great time management. NJ transit is a bit expensive but great for it's purpose. Public transportation
All New Jersey Transit / Amtrak stations should try to copy this place. Parking garages would increase public transit ridership significantly, and yet this is the only train station that gives a crap.
If you’re commuting, get here early or you will have to park in the alternate lot.
Pandora ScooterOctober 12, 2013Leave some time to saunter through the short tunnel underpass to the Southbound trains. It's super pretty.
David WebbDecember 27, 2013No train ticket booth on the platform. Have to buy your ticket inside the tiny station with nj transit and amtrak combined that only has three windows. In other words this station sucks.
Don’t forget to bring your parking ticket with you to pay as you come back.
If it’s cold outside, there’s a heated waiting room on the platform with benches!- VIDecember 26, 2011When trying to find parking just stick to the west side floor 6 or 7! Leave early so u can make it!
Leilani TandocMarch 24, 2014Sometimes I spend more time looking for parking spot than I can imagine, especially on mondays.
Barclay StantonFebruary 5, 2011Tell your friend your train gets in 15mins earlier than it does so you don't have to wait when they're 15mins late.
Get here early to get a good parking spot. After 10am you may not find one since the deck fills up.
Secret (unmarked) restrooms located outside tunnel, at Dunkin’ Express.
Tracy Renee JonesJune 15, 2010Ask NJ Transit whose 3 year old painted the al fresco murals. Then find out why the new monitors don't work. Um, free wi-fi my left cheek.
If you ever doubt the animalistic nature of people, visit this station and deal with the passengers trying to park or get on the train.- Katherine MullisMarch 25, 2012They have separate recycling bins for paper and bottles & cans. Love it and use it!
Get in early for a choice of parking spots! Please park straight!
Give yourself lots of extra time because the parking situation here is terrible! You're at the mercy of slow/confused drivers ahead of you trying to navigate through badly designed parking garages.
There is a way to get to track 4 without going to the garage!
Be a smart commuter and use common sense.arrive early enough not to crash your car,get a snack in the waiting room if during hours of operation.prepare for the parking price increase.Happy Holidays!!!
The tunnel makes you feel like you're entering a disco
Don't crash your car in the deck. If you do be sure to have a witness if you're not at fault, as the police will give you the maximum fine they can by law, pba card or not.
The stations have rooms on the platform that have ac running if you get hot.
Joseph De PalmaMay 17, 2010Instead of buying a pricey business class seat, buy coach and look for the cafe car. Have a whole table to yourself and relax!
There os zipcar right outside the station in case you are travelling out of town. Avoid the civic though - doesnt work properly.
Drew KoloskiJune 18, 2013The locusts are in flying sneak attack mode, keep your head on a swivel people.
God help you should you need assistance from the staff. They can't seem to do anything other than sit in their office.
TigerJanuary 25, 2012Check out 200 Middlesex Essex Turnpike right next door for office space! Great building!
Matt SilvermanMay 28, 2013Want to contemplate the meaning of life? Hold off on that until you leave this place.
Gotta be here before mid-morning or you're stuck in overflow parking lot.
