<p>NJ Transit has had a rough year, excluding the storm damage, however, the blame lies squarely on Amtrak, as they own the rails into Penn Station. Bergen County doesn’t have a great line and you would be hard pressed to find something affordable there. The better lines (more consistent service) are Northeast Corridor and Morris/Essex. Raritan Valley is OK, but you will need to change in Newark, as the line is diesel only. That said, I have several co-workers that take the bus in from NJ and are quite happy with it.</p>
