Would it be cheaper to commute to NYC from Long Island or Newark?|157729

We are planning on visiting NYC. The hotels in Newark are about 10-20 dollars cheaper than Long Island. The four of us want to see NYC, and would it be cheaper for us to commute from Long Island or Newark?

Jersey is always cheaper. But try this

Take Newark to NYC and go to njtransit.com the commuter railroad
take the city on Long Island and go to NY PEnn Station and use either longislandrailroad.com or mta.com and see what the daily off peak rate would be for travel.

Jersey food and all the other stuff is cheaper. No sales tax on food in NJ.

Commute from Newark: New Jersey Transit_s more dependable and very few, if any delays.

LIRR: more delays compared to NJT.

Cheaper: Newark
Safer: Long Island
Shorter Commute: Newark
More frequent trains: Newark

Newark

But Newark is also ALOT less safe than Long Island, there are parts of Newark that you cant really be in after dark, cuz its too dangerous.

It_s faster and cheaper from Newark. If you stay in and around your hotel in Newark, you should be fine for safety.
