Reply to comment by ElReydepiedra in Moving from austin, texas to new jersey next year - I have some questions and would really appreciate any input! by youcancalm

Ok, this is ridiculous! To say the commute from Hoboken to NYC is a nightmare or that the NYC subways are unsafe is just untrue and major first world problems complaining. I also moved from Texas where public transit is nonexistent. Literally millions of people rely on nothing but the path and the subway to get to work, school, church, and restaurants every hour of every day. Sheesh.
