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
way and $7.00 round trip-non-rush hours only). You can get to 33rd St.
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.
