Well, if you like historical fiction like W&P, you should try Patrick O'Brien's Master and Commander series. Picture a Napoleonic War Royal Navy swashbuckler as written by Jane Austen, and you'll get the idea. It's got amazing language and characters, such that a huge part of his fan base is female!

His fans often work their way through all 20 books and then start again. It's one continuous narrative as his two heroes, a naval captain and his ship's surgeon who happens to be an intelligence agent for the British Admiralty, sail their way around the world several times.

Thanks for this. I live in a row house, and I've only ever seen them on single family houses. Do they actually save a lot in electric costs?

I should’ve specified, the corner of Central and Congress. I bought the 2 zones and the bus driver let me know it’s supposed to be 3

I asked a bus driver dropping me off on Congress and Hancock from the city and he said 2 zones

That sounds like you don’t want to get good value for your monthly pass. Take some weekend trips to other great towns in jersey. Go into the city on a weekend. Idk what to tell you man, write a letter or something

this; if I had a need for a bus pass I'd use the 119 and 87 to get to the PATH much more often.

free on the street. agreed its not reliable, but is doable.

Depending on where you are in the heights you could take it down into hoboken or downtown JC for going out. + the elevator to the lightrail is our norm to get to/from downtown JC.

Where are you finding parking less than $5.25 (assuming off-peak tolls)?

Only if it's off hours and you're not going to spend an hour getting in the tunnel. We use this math going out in the city where we'd need to take the subway too. 8 rides vs one toll. And then there's parking....

Yeah but I don’t foresee myself ever taking the bus other than to/from work.

I operate the light rail, and as of a week ago our Traffic Operating signals are messed up all up exchange place, so if you see us passing it we have to notify control center and get permission to pass a horizontal (red) signal. We have been complaining but it’s anyone’s guess as if they do anything about it. Last thing we want is to Amy Degise someone with the light rail

Yeah and if you get picked up on Congress, it’s 3 zones rather than 2

That is correct. However, that bus pass will be valid on any NJ Transit bus route for up to that many zones. So not only can you use it on your normal bus to PABT but you can also use it on any local NJ Transit bus lines. Additionally, a bus pass of two zones or more will be valid on all NJ Transit light rail lines like the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail.

A monthly/weekly bus pass of two zones or more is also valid for use on all NJ Transit light rail lines too.

You can use that bus pass on any NJ Transit bus to as far as each bus route's zone end you purchased the monthly pass at at no additional costs.

The light near LSP light rail at the intersection that leads into the parking lot is also horrible.

Holy shit. I think it’s Amy doing the most!

yes its a $9 full fare (round trip) to/from Port Authority. makes it more economical for 2 people to drive in ... 😤

Nope that’s right. But you are saving on the housing side, so that’s something.
