Splinter Posted July 11, 2006 #2 Share Posted July 11, 2006 It might help if you indicated the port you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take Amtrak or NJ Transit to Penn Station before I'd take the bus. Yes, you can catch a cab from the Port Authority to the Port for a couple of dollars.

trish1c Posted July 11, 2006 #4 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I assume you are going from the poconos to NYC. If so, the Martz bus is probably your best bet; otherwise you are going to have get someone to drive you into NJ to take a train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchorsaweigh Posted July 11, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I've taken the bus then a $5.00 cab ride to the port authority. It was effortless. I would recommend it, besides it's less than a 5 minute ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kids1stcruise Posted July 12, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted July 12, 2006 sorry going from scranton , pa to nyc. getting off at port authority and taking a taxi to get on the spirit. this is cheaper for me to do than driving into the city-- paying for gas parking and toll. just wondering what i can run into as far as aggrevation.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish1c Posted July 12, 2006 #7 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Sitting in a bus on Route 80 or Route 78 in horrible traffic is madding but it's better than being the driver. :o Weekends eastbound usually aren't bad; the traffic moves. If you are sailing on a weekday, watch out! I'd budget at least 4 hours: 1 to get from Scranton to NJ, 2 to cross Jersey (disgusting isn't it?) & 1 for "insurance."
