There’s a $35-each-way bus that runs from Syracuse to Weehawken, and back. It’s really meant for Syracuse travelers going to New York City, it seems. But in the event it fits into your schedule, you could try taking it.
According to this article in the Syracuse New Times:
“The bus takes travelers from Syracuse at 7 a.m., transports them down I-81, through the Poconos, and leaves them off in Weehawken, N.J., by 11 a.m. They then hop the ferry for an eight-minute ride across the Hudson River (those are the fabled ferries that rushed out to rescue the passengers standing atop the floating wings of a US Airways flight after it ditched in the river on Jan. 15) where a bus meets them to take them to various des tinations in midtown Manhattan. Both the ferry and the bus fare are included in the price of the trip.
“A return trip leaving Weehawken at 6 p.m. will get passengers back to Syracuse before 11 p.m. According to McGraw, the company will be adding a second bus to accommodate Orange fans heading to Madison Square Garden for the Big East men’s basketball tournament.
“We get an assortment of people,” said McGraw. “Doctors, lawyers, politicians, judges, SU people. You wouldn’t believe the comments we get. People love the WiFi. I’ve had people tell me that by the time they get there they’ve got all their tasks done for the day.”
