Newark Penn is 20 minutes on PATH from World Trade and 15 minutes on a
good day from Penn Station on NJ Transit. *NJT is more expensive ($4 one

on PATH from Newark, but you have to change trains at Journal Square,
and it's a slow ride, about 50 minutes.
JSQ to 33 is 20 minutes tops. Late-nights and weekends you detour
through Hoboken, which adds 10-15 min.
I made a trip from Newark to 33rd while the WTC station was closed,
direct with no transfer. *It took 50 minutes.
So that means they would have to burn two hours a day getting to/from
the hotel.
Thats no bargain.
So who is suggesting they stay in Newark
There are many fancy hotels in "the new downtown" Jersey City, one
stop, 5 minutes, from WTC.
That is the time for the ride, but the trip has to be considered
"door-to-door".
You make it sound like its 5 minutes from the hotel (which could cost
just as much as one in the city) to WTC.
I guess you've never walked out the main entrance of the Hyatt and
crossed the street to the Exchange Place PATH entrance.
Thats right. I never have.
It it still takes longer than 5 minutes from the Hyatt to WTC. ;-)
Only if you include the time you wait on the platform for the train to
come.
