    "Public transportation is available. NJ transit train in downtown might have to change in Secaucus. Also express bus stop on RT 17 in town. If early commute then driving to manhattan without traffic 35 minutes to upper east side. If you hit the GWB after 6am that time can jump to 1hr+. Lots of options. "
