New Jersey, is a little over an hour from New York. Travel by public transport, is this a way to leverage local transportation, such as saving booklets with train schedules, or know for example what are the peak hours, how to put better at the station to ascend as quickly as possible the train, among other things. And besides, look to know which bus lines run through the area. It is not the typical tourist experience. Do not say it is neither better nor worse, simply that I had to go beyond knowing only the New York subway, a topic that already deserves another entry.

Public transportation in the United States is not good, is nothing new. New York is one of the few exceptions to the rule, thanks to a very extensive network of subways and buses, to which must be added the many difficulties and how expensive it is to park, that between 7 to $ 10 per hour, and probably in some areas even more expensive. But in the suburbs, like New Jersey, public transport is rather impoverished, especially buses, which run every half hour and then six in the evening, every hour.

A Staten Island Economic Development Corp. survey revealed something most Staten Islanders already know: They frequently travel to New Jersey to shop.

The Business Council’s Customer Service Survey found 46 percent of borough residents shop in New Jersey while 38 percent shop at home.

Why?

They want more high-end stores like Nordstrom, Fortunoff and Lord and Taylor, which can all be found just a few miles over the Outerbridge Crossing.

“At this point, we really have an opportunity to keep money in the borough and developers should take note…it would be crazy not to plan projects around what our people want, and are otherwise traveling out of the borough to get,” said Business Council member David Rampulla.

The SIEDC conducted the same survey in 2005 with opposite results: Forty-five percent shopped here and 36 percent in New Jersey.
