Nj Bus 2: Fill & Download for Free

If your destination is in the southern half of New Jersey, you’re better off flying into Philadelphia than JFK (and it also goes without saying that Newark Airport is already in New Jersey) so you should double check if JFK is your best option.Assuming that it’s too late to change, there are three ways to get to New Jersey other than taking a taxi:PATH train from World Trade Center (take the A-train from Howard Beach to Fulton Street),NJTransit commuter rail from Penn Station (take LIRR from Jamaica), orNJTransit bus from Port Authority (take the E-train from Jamaica to 42nd Street).The PATH, in connection with the Hudson Bergen Light Rail, provides good access to most places of interest in Hudson County and Bergen County and goes as far as Newark where you can connect to NJ Transit trains and buses and Newark Light Rail.Take the train from Penn Station (or bus from Port Authority, depending) if you are going to any of the northern suburbs.This map will help you get from JFK to one of the three places above: http://web.mta.info/nyct/maps/subway_map.pdfThis is a very useful map for getting from New York to different parts of New Jersey: http://www.njtransit.com/pdf/rail/Rail_System_Map.pdfThis unofficial website has nice bus maps.

I think I qualified to answer this question as I moved to Dublin 2 years back. I don`t have much exposure to Cork but I can definitely tell you about Dublin. Cork will be anyway less than Dublin as Dublin is the biggest and most expensive city in Republic of Ireland.Disclaimer - Long answer ahead .. :)Lets go to these items one at a timeHousing: This is a big ticket item when you move to Dublin. I moved here as a student and had to live on my savings.Dublin is divided in two parts by Liffey River. Odd numbered districts are usually referred as north of Dublin and even number is referred as South for an easy understanding.Dist 2–14 excluding 8,10 and 12 are one of the expensive part of the city and known as the posh of Dublin and relatively safe. To find a decent 2 BHK apartment in these neighborhood, you need to shell out anything between 2000–2500e per month (rates have slightly dropped due to COVID crisis as lot of Air BnBs are out of business and are given on short term rental). 1BHK apartment could cost you anything in between 1000–1500 e /month and a 3BHK could go beyond 3000e per month.The odd number of districts are relatively less expensive but, the rental does not differ by a huge amount. You can get a 2BHK starting from 1700, a studio starting 800 and a 3 bhk under 3000 e/month. North is bit notorious along with Dist 8,10 and 12 but again depends on which neighborhood you choose to live.Housing is a crisis in Dublin so make sure you have an employment and a good bank statement to impress the landlord. There are lot of scammers around who tend to dupe innocent students and professionals by taking advances and not giving keys or agreement. Even when you want to vacate the place, Landlord or the sublet person will deduct some money in the name of cleaning or breaking something. Do you due diligence when looking for a house. Some people share a 1BHK with 3–4 people to mitigate the expenses in the city.As you move away from city center the costs for housing tends to be less e.g. Lucan, Blanchards town, City west, tallagat etc. are relatively cheaper neighborhoods.Transport- Public transport is another item which is expensive. I never understood on what basis they charge but the minimum ticket you need to buy is about 2.5e even for 2 stops if using Dublin Bus. Transport routes are funny and it takes more time by bus than walking to your destination. City transport has LEAP card which works on all moods of transport and has a cap on daily and weekly transaction. This could be handy if you use lot of public vehicles to commute. Some routes are well served and some are very slow in service. Properties around these routes could be expensive. Until 2019 there were no night services for the local transport but the times are changed now and are better than before. As far as I remember nothing runs after 12:00 AM until about 5 AM. Buying car is not expensive but insurance is super expensive. For a 1st time insurer, you need to spend anything up-to 2000e for vehicle insurance. Dublin is very bike friendly city so you can always buy a bicycle which can massively reduce your transport expenses.Dublin BusDARTLUASFood & Nightlife- Food is not very expensive if you cook. My expense for monthly groceries is anything between 80–150e. Liquor is cheap if you buy from the stores and consume in your own luxury. Food at restaurants is expensive by a whole lot. I don`t eat out so cant give you much of a figure on it but its definitely not cheap. Dublin is known for its nightlife so you can enjoy your weekends if you are capable of spending money.Healthcare- This is a nightmare as an immigrant, I do not get access to the state healthcare which I heardis not very efficient. If you go through the free healthcare system it takes anything between 2–3 month to secure appointment from the GP. I have heard cases where people have waited for 10–18 hours in the emergency. Its better to secure a private health insurance to get access to better medical facilities. I haven't used any facility yet but hopefully its still better than the one provided by the state.As a single person and living on my own, my monthly expense is anything in between 1000–1200 e per month as I live a minimalist life (I don't indulge much into luxuries and night outs). I cannot comment on the childcare but what I have heard is, its quite expensive as well. If both partners are working then the creche costs at-least 1000e a month on top of all other baby-care stuff, then you have schools, after schools, sports coaching etc.This is an estimate to the most expensive city in Ireland, anywhere else would be less by may be 15%. So if you plan to move to Dublin have some bank reserve as you may need it when looking for a decent lifestyle.Image source - google imagesIf you made it to the end , thanks for reading.-S

Originally Staten Island had many farms, plus wetlands. Unlike Manhattan which has really sturdy bedrock, if you tried to dig for a subway there would be water, clay, or sandy soil. It’s not feasible to build skyscrapers on this type of soil either. The really large ones in Manhattan are anchored in the bedrock.Until the Verrazano-Narrows bridge was built in 1964, the only ways to travel into Manhattan or the rest of NYC was to take the car ferry into Manhattan, or one of the three bridges from Staten Island to New Jersey, then take either one of the tunnels or the bridge from NJ into Manhattan. Long commute.Before the Verrazano bridge was built, the population of Staten Island was approximately 200,000. Much of Staten Island was employed in Manhattan, and they commuted using bus or train to the ferry, then walk or subway to their job. Staten Island was the place to live if you wanted a yard, a home in a neighborhood where your children could just go out to play. There were woods where they made forts, and you could trick or treat for miles without fear of poisoned candy. We used to go out after dinner and had to be home when the streetlights went on. No worries about stranger danger because everyone either knew, or knew of, everyone else. Yes, you drove to shop, even though you could walk to a grocery store. Everyone had cars.After the bridge, the population has grown to almost half a million. There are no more car ferries. They were halted after 9/11. Even though other cities resumed car ferries, the NYC government saw the opportunity to make it more difficult for at least one of five boroughs to add more cars to congested Manhattan. This left either the NJ route or the expensive Verrazano. Staten Island is the only borough where New York City residents have to pay to drive out of their home borough.The time-consuming commute has made some employers reluctant to hire people from Staten Island. Express busses can get caught in bridge and tunnel traffic, or even fill up so quickly that they pass people by. Commuting to a job on Staten Island can also be a problem if you use mass transit. The busses aren’t always timed conveniently. I worked 5.5 road miles away from my home. That equated to 25 - 35 minutes. By bus (2 busses), it could take over 2 hours! A coworker drove in from New Hope PA, and left his house at the same time I did to arrive on time!On much of the island which was built before the population doubled, roads are inadequate for the increased traffic. It’s not uncommon for parents to each have a car, and teenagers get cars as soon as they can. There are main roads which are only one lane wide. Widening these roads would mean removing sidewalks. Businesses can’t be moved back from the road because there are houses behind them.So that’s another reason there’s a good chance Staten Island won’t have many huge buildings. The roads won’t support higher density. Plus people on Staten Island don’t want to give up their yards. In the summeralmost everyone has barbeques, and many have pools.I’m surprised you say you have to drive to get food. What do you mean? Restaurants? Fast food? Grocery stores? Some of the racially mixed areas of Staten Island are only served by one or two grocery stores, but people in any neighborhood will drive to get good sales. In some neighborhoods there isn’t the volume of traffic necessary to keep anything other than an Around the Clock Deli open if you’re looking for food after 11:00 PM. Remember, lower density than in other boroughs.Manhattan has a high enough density to keep food establishments open later, and even supports a deli on every block in some areas. But the real estate prices are so high that few people can afford to live there.
