NJ Commuting March 8, 2025

From Bergen to Big Apple

Hi, I’m Mina Habib with Century 21 Concept 100 in Oradell, NJ.

If you’re considering living in Bergen County and commuting to Manhattan for work, here’s a quick guide.

In towns like Oakland, Franklin Lakes, and Wyckoff, you can catch a Coach commuter bus with park-and-ride options. The trip to Port Authority takes about an hour from the last stop in Wyckoff.

For those near Ramsey or Ridgewood, there are NJ Transit trains, with a transfer at Secaucus Junction, taking about 1 to 1.5 hours depending on whether you take the express or local train.

Towns like Hackensack, Hasbrouck Heights, Wood-Ridge, and Rutherford are more commuter-friendly, with NJ Transit buses running as early as 5 AM and returning as late as 1:30 AM.

And if you’re looking for something closer, Fort Lee is right by the George Washington Bridge, with a quick 10-minute trip to the city depending on your location.
