The secret is either go down Chapel ave and that will leave you in the golf course and once you cut through there, you are in Liberty State Park and then cut across to Jersey ave. to the Path or keep going till you get to Exchange Place. Another good way to go is cut across the turnpike sidewalk and that will leave you also in Liberty State Park. both of these routes have very little car traffic. Just avoid going down Garfield to Grand street, I did that once and it sucked too many cars. On super nice days you can ride 5 minutes down to Port Liberte and just jump on the ferry for $7 :) Good Luck!

I guess this is the perfect opportunity to try out Citi Bike. I hope I don't die or get injured on the way there. I noticed a ton of car traffic today and wondered if it was because of the light rail down.

I am not sure about the rest of the city, but there is a bus that stops on Richard and Garfield a few feet away from the Richard station. IMO the bust takes to long and uber is surcharging... the citibike got me to exchange place in 15 min.

Where can I find these "private buses" that will honor my monthly light rail pass?
Quote: New Jersey Transit and private buses will cross honor light rail tickets and passes, and PATH is cross-honoring light rail tickets and passes between Exchange Place in Jersey City and Hoboken stations, NJ Transit officials said.

Service on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail between Harsimus Cove and Liberty State Park stations has been suspended in both directions since 2:30 p.m. after a dump truck struck overhead wires on the track on Marin Boulevard this afternoon around 1 p.m., according to NJ Transit spokeswoman Nancy Snyder. The dump truck also took down a traffic signal pole. Read more: http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... ity_will_operated_on.html

Apparently a tow truck (?) knocked down the wires? Not quite sure, but if you are waiting for the light rail, it might be while.
