How hard is it to commute from New York City back to Jersey late at night by public transportation?
Travelling to New Jersey / New York City for 7 days. My hotel is in Elizabeth, NJ by the Newark Airport. I was wondering how hard it was to commute from New York City back to New Jersey. What is the easiest way? What are the options for commute? Also, should I be concerned about safety here? Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Answer 1 :
There are no options for commute. You should reconsider your hotel in Elizabeth and perhaps stay in brooklyn or queens or a cheap hotel in the city. Elizabeth is very out of the way and unless you rent a car I dont see how you are going to get back there late at night, unless you pay for a cab which will cost you an arm and a leg. You may want to consider looking for a hotel in Hoboken or Weehawken as well, since they are right over the river.
Answer 2 :
I think the train is really your only option, unless you want to shell out a lot of money for a car service. However, I don't know how safe the Elizabeth train station is. Elizabeth is not the nicest place in NJ, and that's being kind. Here's a train schedule from NY Penn to the Elizabeth station: http://www.njtransit.com/sf_tr_schedules.jsp?action=entry&resptype=U&MinB=0&MinA=0&Fare=Y&Line=&LineDesc=&LineLookup=&LineExt=&LineExt2=&STime=12%3A00+PM&RTime=1%3A00+PM&Oloc=New+York+Penn+Station&OSID=105+++++&Dloc=Elizabeth&DSID=41++++++&back=sf_tr_schedules.shtml&ori=105+++++%3ANew+York+Penn+Station&des=41++++++%3AElizabeth&DOW=W&mm=3&dd=26&yyyy=2007&date=3%2F26%2F2007 If you do use the train, make sure to have a taxi waiting for you in Elizabeth. Unless you want to get mugged.

NJ tranist trains is about it and they end at 1:40 in the morning and dont start again until 4:30ish...look them up online for theschedule. But its totally safe and not a bad ride, just dont fall asleep
