I can't figure out how to add a route from Bay Ridge to Clinton in NJ. That's my wishlist subway - got to Newark Airport from Brooklyn without going through Manhattan.
Edit: Actually Clifton is in NY, and playing with Google maps there's ZERO public transport from Staten Island to NJ, except by going through Manhattan!
So my idea wouldn't help anyway, unless they extended that subway all the way over the Goethals Bridge.
As a Brooklynite I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately this is more of a service designer as opposed to a track designer, and it only works with existing infrastructure :(
There are 4 bridges: Goethals, Outerbridge, Bayonne, and Verrazano. You can walk on Goethals and Bayonne. I was actually thinking a few weeks ago about walking from Elizabeth to Bayonne someday, just for the heck of it.
I forgot about Verrazano! I was only thinking about routes to NJ.
Looks like a 2 or 3 mile walk from the nearest public transport stops that I can find. Maybe someone local can find a closer stop.
Forest Ave/Goethals Rd North to Bayway Ave at Mckinley St.
Edit: This could be a fun game - find the two spots with the greatest ratio of driving vs public transport. I think those two are pretty good candidates.
Distance: 2.5 mile.
Drive 9AM: 5-9 minutes, 11PM: 4-6 minutes.
Public transport 9AM: 1:52, 11PM: 3:34.
Ratio (using the average drive time) 9AM: 16, 11PM: 42.8.
