Depending where you are in the Heights and your physical abilities, it can be very walkable. I'm a 20 minute walk from Journal Square PATH and like 25 from Hoboken. Beats waiting for the unreliable light rail for sure.

I don’t live that close to them but I think even if I did I would still rather take the bus most of the year for several reasons.

A lot of people have bus phobia. I used to take the jitney from Hutton to JSQ. It'd be like 8 minutes. If it was nice out I'd skateboard down hill but never the reverse.

EDIT: bus phobia or an aversion to bus travel.

Bus phobia?

I think a lot of people are afraid to use the bus, look down on bus use, or have just never thought to use it in their rotation.

That’s not a phobia that’s just people being stuck up assholes.
