Uber in Teaneck, NJ?

September 26, 2014 2:39 PM

I'm attending a wedding in Teaneck, New Jersey in a couple of weeks. It's on a Monday night. I'd prefer to stay in Manhattan. For anyone who lives in Teaneck, what are my options for getting back into Manhattan around, say, 1:00 AM on a Monday night? Are there Uber drivers in Teaneck? How much would it be for a regular cab?

Depending upon where in Teaneck you are and where in Manhattan you want to go, you can get on the NJ Transit 168 bus to Port Authority and it'll take about an hour and cost about 5 bucks.

Yes, Uber now services North and Central NJ. According to Uber's site, it would be $40-55 for UberX from Teaneck to Manhattan, depending on exact locations.

There are also NJ Transit trains and buses, but you'd likely at least need a cab to take you to the train/bus station, and since it's late on a weeknight, I would check the schedules beforehand to confirm there'll be transportation available.

The New Bridge Landing NJ Transit train station is like 2 miles from Teaneck, and it's a 30 or 40 minute train ride into Penn Station.
