Commuting
Public Transport to New York City is available through New Jersey Transit. There are two different rail lines: The Morristown Line and Gladstone Branch Line. The Morristown Line is also known as The Midtown Direct which travels straight to Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan without any transfers and takes about 38 minutes. The Gladstone Branch Line provides service to Hoboken and Newark with two direct trains into Penn Station.
For those who prefer to travel by bus, the Lakeland Bus line offers Summit residents bus service from Summit to New York City Port Authority on the West Side of Midtown Manhattan. For those who prefer to travel by ferry, the train can be taken to Hoboken where the New York Waterway Ferry is available for a short trip to Wall Street - this takes a little over an hour.
Drivers have easily accessible highways which include I-78, the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike.
Newark Liberty International Airport is within a 20 minute drive of Summit making it the perfect place for those who need international or domestic travel.
