Secaucus Junction Pick-up

Hugh transit hub at Secaucus. This is the last stop before going into NYC. Local trains and interstate trains go through this station daily. Looks grand and new inside the station. Ticket machines at every level. It shows the next train coming in. I didn’t see any ground crew but I’m sure there’s an info booth somewhere. Signs and labels to direct passengers. Pretty straightforward. Looks like all gates are digital. Scan and code and enter. There are indoor waiting areas at the platforms which is very practical during cold weather.

Come through here often for a transfer to Philly and love the layout, the signage is excellent which makes it easy to find your train. Seems fairly new and it’s always clean. Wish there was more options for food and beverages but luckily my transfers are always 15-25mins so I’m not here long.

Easy to navigate, lots of parking, helpful staff. Train times and lines are displayed clearly and buying tickets is easy and straightforward. Would recommend for an event at MetLife stadium! And who can argue with a Dunkin’ Donuts selling cold beer to go???

Pick up is easy for your Lyft ride to get you But this is not for self parking

Weird station to get out. Needed to take an elevator to exit and take a car. Signs are small and hidden. Good luck. If you going to take a train come with time. Take the elevator into the building it will be difficult to find the correct stairs.

Not too bad found the place nicely after previous visit and getting lost I definitely made sure not to mess up this time around.

The fact you can’t tap on and off is very annoying and slow

Once you’re used to this place, it’s easy. But until you’re familiar, it’s quite difficult to navigate. Getting to NYC proves to be simple as there are many signs clearly saying “NYC” so you know where to go. For major events such as MetLife concerts, additional signage is posted that says “Concert This Way.” If you need assistance, the workers are very knowledgeable and will be able to help. If you’re switching trains, you better be quick. There is not enough time to dilly dally and at times, you better prepare to run. I haven’t spent much time in the station itself but it seems clean and well maintained. Confusing at first, but easy once you get used to it.

I've been here on a couple of occasions. Taking the train from Secaucus to Lyndhurst. This is a very clean station, the staff is friendly and helpful, something as a NYer, I'm not used to. They actually help you with a smile here. As I've been here on a handful of times, I know my way around and where to go. I wish our stations back in NY operated as smoothly and efficiently, but one could dream, right....

This is a terrible station the elevator is very slow and there is only one elevator and it's down half of the time with no notice telling people the elevator is not working . It's just a huge station with nothing to offer .

Such a God-awful experience here today. I was commuting to Hoboken and I missed my transfer at Newark Broad. I told one of the agents there since I'm now trying to exit and catch an Uber to Hoboken. I showed her my original ticket and she forced me to get a Secaucus ticket to get through. It blew my mind when she swiped 2 other customers who didn't have the appropriate tickets then allowed 2 friends to exit together with a single swipe. Awful experience, I really hate this station. The lack of empathy. But cheers.

The only thing that is saving this review from being a one star review is the fact that so many trains pass through here, roughly 10-20 per hour, with higher numbers coming during rush hour. Besides that, I did not find too much to like. The staff is incredibly rude, they made me pay an extra $5 for a ticket because I had already went through the transfer concourse to get a water bottle. It is almost like they do not want you lingering around. Train stations should not be like that. They should be for exploring and enjoying (within reason). I was not loitering or doing anything wrong, just watching a few trains and enjoying the action this station has to offer. But if this station is going to make me feel like a money bag and not like a person, I will simply go up to Newark Penn and railfan there.

Impressive Transportation hub. Clean and efficient. Negative is access road for pick up and drop off is to narrow. Parking lot adjacent is overpriced.

Great commuter location. Designated sign and area for UBER pick up. Small room to wait in so you are not in the elements while you wait for a ride. Steady trains to get you to and from, for me it is usually to and from NYC Penn station. Only thing I tend to not like it the frequency of the more local trains but that's on Transit not this station. There is a huge parking lot with a monthly pay option, and valet. I never use that, I was a monthly Parker at one point but I now pay as I go the 30 per day which for the safety and leave of mind is worth it. Not much food or things to occupy your time while you are there, I wish there were more stores or things there cause there is a time where you may have to wait an hour or so for your train. Check the schedule and give it a go !

Secaucus Station is a nice looking train terminal, but I hate going there. This is where you can connect to the Bergen NJ Transit line from New York Penn or Newark Penn train lines. Depending on your schedule though, you may find yourself running to get to your connection or waiting for a very long time. If you're waiting, there's a DD and bar at least. Secaucus does the job, but be ready to run or wait forever.

Not the best, not the worst. I took the NJ Transit from the City which was a mere 12 minutes from Penn. Very quick and easy. A one way ticket cost $4.25. The main area is nice, I guess. A rotunda with art in the center. They have a very typical Jersey rest stop news stand that sells Snapple for $2, magazines, chachkies, snacks and junk. They also have a Dunkin' Donuts. I ate nothing, but I might have eaten at the Dunkin' had I the time. They also have a Sbarro if you're starving to death- TO DEATH or have never eaten food before. Tickets can be bought at the kiosks.

Nice NJ transit station and its very easy to navigate the track. This station is one of the first station in NJ from Manhattan, NY and any train is going through this station. When you buy the ticket even a ticket collector doesn't come to check your ticket yet when you get off you need a ticket to scan at when you go out of the this station.

Check schedules first and don't wait by train, wait in vestibules, this station is not responsible for schedules or their changes. So if you wait by train and a change occurs...you'll be running back upstairs, scrambling to find where your train is waiting before it leaves.

So this was the first time for us driving to NYC, but many told us to just drive to NJ and take a train in. We looked at a few places and we really wanted to get to Penn Station in NYC because that was closest to our hotel. We were very uneasy about the whole process but it all worked out. First we were worried about traffic even getting to this station because it was near Lincoln tunnel, but we arrived on a Tuesday after 1pm and it was smooth sailing. We were not used to train travel and what trains to take, so we went to customer service and they were very informative and also told us to get a round trip tickets so it would be easier. This place was very clean and welcoming. It was next to the parking lot and we had a few steps to take, but very convenient and easy to get to NYC without the hassle of driving in the city.

This junction was a great addition to NJ transit but it can be extremely confusing the first few times you pass through here. The other thing you will notice is the overwhelming stench of urine, apparently there are no bathrooms on the platform so everyone just wizze's where they are. I got stuck here on New year's eve after some nut job decided to jump in front of my train, so i found the bar and was shocked at the cheap prices 4$ beers and 5$ mixed drinks! can't beat that, it's twice as much in Newark Penn. Overall most people pass through here quickly switching trains not really a station you'll be hanging out in... Safe travels my fellow Yelpers!

Good hub. There are plenty of turnstiles. Easy flow to where you need to get to and catch your train. there is a Dunkin Donuts, Sbarros, Public restrooms and a full service bar. Screens everywhere to see when your train is coming. tip- NYC bound train will always stop on track 2 no matter what the display says!

It's not a bad station, but it does the job decently. Most of the NJ Transit trains pull in here from all of the lines, and (unless if there's a special event), Amtrak trains rocket past the station. Trains from Main/Bergen line, and Pascack Valley line pass on the ground level, and all of the other lines that have electric overlays go on the elevated track above - en route to NYC-Penn station or to their destination. Trains usually give 30-60 seconds of a stop here until they leave, so depending on the time of day, you can catch the next one on rush hour (very soon), or worst case +30 minutes (late night). There's food shops and amenities here, as what you can expect for a transit hub, but it's from decent to subpar, and they close in the late night, Most people outside of NJ call the area around I-95 an "armpit" and that might be true. The station is connected to a specific exit for I-95/NJT's eastern spur (15X), and in close proximity to the other highways. On one side, you see factories, warehouses, and rapidly developed condos and shops, and the other, you see the beauty of the untouched Meadowlands (so far). One thing is for certain: do NOT discard your ticket if you're departing/transferring to a train here (i.e. Hoboken bound train for NYC bound train, etc). The upper level contains areas to scan tickets for NY-southbound trains, and they're only valid for those trains only. Also, they're only good for one use. If not, you'll have to spend 2$-4,50$ on a ticket just to leave the station, plus your other ticket (also try not to discard that one too before the train, or you'll have to buy another one for 5$ more).

Great station for NJ transit, I change trains here to get to the Meadowlands. Clean station, really clean restroom for women. Friendly helpful staff at the faregate. Plenty of law enforcement and you can drum beer on the train on way to game. Woohoo!

After almost 3 years NJ Transit on time schedule is not so timely. Well I have been through the Secaucus Junction for the past almost 3 years so let me be more specific. I emanate from the Pascack Valley line every morning and return every evening. The Pascack Valley line is very timely, but, my trip to and from Newark Penn is far less than timely. But, this is a review of the Secaucus Junction. Secaucus Junction being relatively new is quite nice. I don't mind waiting here for my usual 10-15 minute connection wait. There is the Junction bar and eateries if you get held up more than 15 minutes. The change from the former magnetic stripe readers to the newer state of the art QR codes has been less than effective. Many times the gate scanners can not read the QR codes of either the single day or even monthly passes. Someone needs to invent a more effective QR code.

Good clean station. So convenient to NYC. I like very much. Not noisy and well organized. Impressive especially for NJ Transit. I'm surprised at all the negative reviews on here. Comparing to some other stations in NY like Port Authority or Penn Station this station is pristine and a dream in comparison. It's also not leaking water and does not have the stench that some other stations have. It really is one of the better transit stops. Also decent compared to some of the other NJ transit stations.

When the escalators work, this is a pretty decent transportation hub with a few food options, a general store and easy in/out transfer to other train lines. Penn could take a few notes from the set-up and execution of this station, but alas, I doubt they ever will.

For a train hub, this place has very few services to offer. There is a Hudson News and inside of that is a Dunkin Donuts. There is a Sabarrows and a bar. One soda vending machine and one snack machine that routinely steals your money. There is an ATM. There are also several places on the upper mezzanine to charge your phone. If you are waiting for a train on track H, no benches to sit on. Why? In the waiting room on track H-no AC in the summer. What the heck???? Again, I must ask NJT-Why? The bathroom is serviceable and better than what you will find in Penn Station. Would be awesome if soap dispensers were actually filled with soap. If they work at all it appears to be watered down pink mystery liquid. The pick up and drop off area is a joke. There are taxis lining this area and god forbid if you have the temerity to park there cuz you are picking up someone...I've had taxi drivers yelling at me because they don't think I should be there even though this is the only designated area for drop off and pick ups. There is the awesome area where you can board a bus, and it has plenty of room, but people dropping off or picking up cannot go there. I wind up parking on the street next to the Edison parking to wait when I have to pick up someone and then they have to walk that long way to get to me,which is especially fun in bad weather. Come on NJT, you can do better.

I think it's weird you need to swipe your ticket to LEAVE the station. Once I misplaced my ticket and I had to pay to leave. I kept the ticket secure after that but still, I don't get it. Also I asked someone how to get to ground level. He directed me to the elevator, where there was a huge line. After several minutes of nothing happening, I had to track someone down to ask where stairs were. One elevator down? Ugh. There's not a very big pick up area for cars and there's only one parking lot who with the monopoly charges high. Basically, just be happy if your train sails through here or if you only have to change tracks.

I like the existence of the Junction and have used it quite a bit when heading to see relatives and various conventions. It's for the most part a very clean and on schedule sort of station. The signage is easy enough to find and follow and while there are numerous outlets visible if you need to sit and plug in your devices, I didn't detect any sort of free WiFi. That would be helpful. The staff of the junction have always been helpful when I've asked them questions which is good since I am forever clueless when not on an MTA train and the bathroom facilities are kept up. Not like one finds in Port Authority and generally Penn Station. Clean and well lit. An important factor and a safety issue in some sense. That's all I have.

junction (noun) - by Merriam-Webster a point where two or more things are joined "the junction of the two trains" I always like junctions either rail or road as it unifies and connect things/objects together making the connection or the transfer easiler. Secaucus Junction enable to make my connection to/from sufficiently easiler to my final destination. This station is huge that many trains join here enabling connections and transfers easiler. It has been a significant long time since I have travelled outside of NYC but I always LOVE to travel. Facilites are abundant and relatively clean. Four stars due to poor visiblity and lack of proper signage directing passengers to enabling make connections. Since this is my first time travelling by rail - NJ Transit I had absolutely no idea where/what track number or gate number but using common sense and the power of observation I followed the crowd and was able to catch my train. Trains arrivals and departures are mostly on time (based on a one-time round trip journey as I am not a daily NJ Transit commuter). This station is well lighted unlike the MTA subway system with poor lighting. There are electric outlets for passengers to attain power for tech gadgets as you kill time scanning FB while waiting for your train. There is a parking lot on site.

Easy to park here and take the train into NYC when the traffic is heavy instead of taking the bus in. Parking after 4:00 is around $9.50. They also have vallet. Parking lot is an easy walk to the train. Quick ride to NY Penn station. You will need your train ticket to get in, ride the train and finally get out of the station so hold onto it.

Stopped here briefly to catch the train that takes you directly to Metlife stadium. It was easy breezy. The platform wasn't to crowded so I am guessing the tra8bs run pretty regularly. Our train was delayed but it worked out well

$30 to park from 4:30 in the afternoon on a weekday to 10:00 PM. BS never again. I understand you want to (over) charge commuters but when towns like Lyndhurst and Rutherford as well as others along the line have FREE parking you charge RIDICULOUS prices for event and after hours. Never again.

If u delayed... let someone know... The elevator take more than..10 min from lobby to 2nd floor. Poor customer service never tell u why they delayed and cancel the train. Avoid at all, if u can

The mezzanine level at this station is spacious and feels like a section of an airport terminal. There's a newsstand and several food and beverage options available during your wait for the next train. I constantly need help with directions, so it's nice that the staff is accessible and helpful. For a weekend getaway, coming here confirms a feeling of traveling somewhere away from home. Goodbye staycation!

Even though Secaucus Junction does not fit neatly into any of the Yelp categories, I felt it needed to be included. Secaucus Junction is a large train station located in the middle of the Meadowlands; constructed as a hub to alleviate the mass of commuters having to go to Hoboken. Before it's construction, commuters were forced to go the extra 10-15 minutes into Hoboken, and then from there take either a ferry or the PATH to get into New York City. It was crowded and with the ever growing population commuting more and more everyday, it was only going to get worse. $450,000,000 later, this oasis in the wet-lands was born. With the construction of Secaucus Junction, commuters can now stop there and take a train directly into Penn Station in mid-town Manhattan. 8 of NJTransit's lines stop there, with an additional line being added in the near future, to go directly to the Meadowlands itself. Unfortunately, Secaucus Junction has many minor flaws which make it an un-reliable stop. Things as simple as out-dated schedules, or improperly displayed schedules; which would take literally one minute to fix, go un-touched for months on end. One of the platforms has a schedule board with the "To Hoboken" schedule on both sides. A minor mistake, but something that could be fixed in a matter of seconds. Most of the new (the building was opened in 03) monitors that display train times are broken and have been so for quite some time. Even if you manage to find one that isn't cracked it is bound to show the wrong information or have a Windows Error screen blocking vital info. The interior of the building is good looking (for a train station i suppose), with artwork, mosaics, large open areas, and a large sculpture of Cat-tails in the middle. It is kept relatively clean, though with not as many commuters as any of NYC's major stations, one wonders how hard is it really to maintain? Seating is hard to come by, which is especially frustrating with all the open areas where a bench or two could have been thrown in. There are enclosed seating areas towards the ends of the platforms outside, but those usually fill up relatively quickly. There is no heat on the platforms, so during the winter many people wait right by the exits onto the platforms which creates massive congestion. Outside commuters are greeted with high winds and a terrible stench... something between mildew and horse manure. One of the biggest flaws of Secaucus Junction is the lack of any parking whatsoever. It is attached to the outside world via exit 15x on the New Jersey Turnpike. 15x is officially the most un-used exit on the NJ Turnpike, and probably all of NJ's highway system. It only goes to Secacus Junction, but without parking, seems fairly useless. Large 4 lane over-passes and even toll booths that lead to pretty much nowhere. My ropinion is that Secacus Junction is a necessary evil, all you have to do is be ready to deal with it. Here are some pointers: -Know your trip before-hand, it will make your stop that much more painless. -Be patient, the first few screens you come to may be broken, but keep looking, you'll find one that works -Don't be afraid to ask, the employees there are actually very nice, and for the most part willing to help you out however necessary. -If you get disoriented in one of the corridors (which I have seen happen) head towards the glowing purple metal cat-tail sculpture. -Head towards the ends of the platforms, they are always less crowded and you'll be able to find a seat on the train easier away from the middle -if anything happens with your train, become a pain in the ass and ask as many questions as possible. Keep yourself informed. Many a time trains have switched or are being combined with only a single muffled barely audible announcement .

Not a complex interchange for changing trains but service can be a little quicker. A tad bit efficient. Pretty cool that it offers different bars, eateries while you wait or transfer trains. Also add to the fact that it is the most direct point from Penn station. Customer service as well as the announcement can be better. Grade: C

What more can I say? It's a train station. It has a bar. It's clean, bright, spacious, newer looking and well maintained. There is a Dunkin Doughnuts there. A newsstand. Clean bathrooms. I pass through here as a connection to the football stadium. Lots of police on duty during football Sundays. A lot of staff working the ticket gates to help keep the crowds moving. But why does it always smell like urine down on the platform while waiting for my train? - insert random New Jersey joke here -

First time traveling into this station from NYC via NJ transit. The process was very confusing. There are kiosks where you can purchase you're own tickets but at first glance I didn't see my location. I went to information desk to ask questions and the gentleman behind the desk was very courteous and answered my questions. When I returned to kiosks the naming conventions of the stations were not consistent with that of the one I was looking up on my map. Either way we figured out which "stop" would be ours and noticed a "waiting area" for ticketed passengers. We sat there to see what "track" our train would be assigned to--which we were told is not released until 10 min before the train departs. Problem with that is that when they "announce" which track to go to it turns into a mad house and people start running in every which direction which cause people to run into each other and practically knock others down. Then there's a few doors labeled with the same track number so sometimes parties would split up and yell frantically to the members of their party that they're going the wrong way--which I don't think they were. In any case, once you finally make it down to the platform there are two sets of tracks and these are poorly labeled too. Everyone is walking in the same direction so you just tend to follow and hope your going to right train. Once aboard the train it is very difficult to find a seat we had to travel into a few cab cars to find 2 seats together. Once seated I noticed there was no where to charge my iPhone which was running low on battery and my power back had stopped working too. As for the seats they were fair to average. The ambiance was very hectic there was a train-door by our seats that separated both cab cars and for some reason it did not shut-which made for an extremely noisy ride. Once approaching our stop (the first stop), which we were told by information representative would be our stop, the overhead speaker on the train announced it to be a different location. Just as we started to panic that we may have gotten on the wrong train. Someone came in over the loudspeaker-which was not that audible and confirmed that the location was indeed Seacacus junction and not Newark Penn station. So we quickly disembarked and walked into the station which was bigger than we thought. Also, when we were on the train no one scanned for our tickets which we thought was strange--but it's because you have to use your ticket to scan out of the station, so hold on to your tickets at all times! We followed the signs to exit the station and wound up in the street in the middle of nowhere--with an extremely low battery on my cell phone I was thankfully able to call for a Lyft and made it home after committing all day.

I have passed through here to make a connection from Newark Airport on only two occasions. My first experience was horrible and my second experience confirmed that the limited train service sucked. I was happy to try NJ transit trains from Newark airport to the Morris County suburbs of NYC. This involved walking a long distance with my luggage from Newark airport to the airport train station. It was only possible to get a train heading East to Newark, NJ. My destination was west of Newark, NJ. I had to go East from Newark airport to Newark Penn Station, catch a NJ Transit train Westbound to Secaucus and switch to a Westbound train to Morristown. That is 3 trains and 3 hours vs. a simple drive of 25 minutes from Newark Airport to Morristown. Poor signage and a lack of information plagued the system. Even as a native NYer, this was confusing. As I waited in the F. Lautenberg ( F stands for ??) corrupt politician station, I was the only waiting passenger and was outnumbered by NJ Transit employees. No vendors were open but, bathrooms were available. How much was wasted on this pit with a tributary naming to a lousy politician? Yes, the place is roomy and comfortable...especially when you are the one passenger in the facility waiting for hours for your train. My taxes paid for this now, make it work, you thieves!

What happened? I remember them spending so much money here. And no parking lot. An exit off the Turnpike, which, I think should be free given the lack of parking. The NJ Transit trains all stop here, but the platforms, as much as they are "new" have all kinds of labels and no accurate track signs. I've yet to see more than 1/2 of the TV screens here working since the opening.

Sea-Cau-Cus. Okay, that's how they say it in this station but whatever. This station is your go-to when you can't find a direct train from New York. It does its job. It can be a wee bit confusing with where the trains are but there's usually an employee around to direct you. If not, follow the crowd. As any other NJ Transit station, they have the nifty machines that temporarily steal your ticket and then open up so you can pass through. I've noticed a few food options but I've never had time to really explore them here. This station is also very clean at all times, which is appreciated.

How can you wrong with a station that takes you where you need to go all throughout New Jersey to Penn Station in New York?! You just can't! It's fast, reliable, convenient & clean. I frequent this station a lot being that I'm in New Jersey practically every other weekend. If you don't want to drive or don't drive, this is the perfect transportation to get around. The tickets are inexpensive, there's a pub, Dunkin Donuts and a Sbarros Pizzeria while you wait.

Even though I don't like the name of the station, this is my station when I go into the city and I am leaving from the area. In 15 mins or less you are in NY Penn Station. The structure has the essentials: bathrooms and bar. :-) The only bummer is, if you are not getting dropped off, is paying for parking ($20 or more). The good thing about parking is you can text them about 30 mins before you are coming and they will have your car waiting. $4 gets you a 1 way to Penn Station. I find it to be convenient.

Nice station, but fix the announcements on your platforms. Waiting for a connecting train from a recent Jets game, and most of the announcements I heard loud and clear on my platform were for Southbound trains or other platforms no where near the platform I was standing on, upstairs. Also, the digitized, text to speech, announcements in a male voice, are garbled and not fully clear. It sounds like the person making the announcement has the hiccups or something. Very herky jerky. Also, don't "guesstimate" arrival times in your announcements. Everything, including my own train was said to "arrive in 8 minutes". After 5 minutes went by, it was still arriving in "8 minutes". Gotta fix that. Overall, one of the worst connection experiences I've ever had.

I have to say that I really hate coming here. Parking can be a problem if there is an even going on. It is a rather small lot. The first thing you notice is that the layout of the station is extemely inconvenient. The walk from the parking lot to the station itself is dumb. It is a pretty long walk from your car to the entrance of the station. You have to cross over the lane where the cars and taxis are leaving from and nobody stops for you. Once you enter the station, I always notice a very unpleasant sewer odor. Then you notice all the empty space. There seems to be a lot of wasted space here. I have always had to walk up and down the stairs because there is only one escalator and it is never going in the direction that I am. I don't know, it just has never been a good experience here. Oh an when you return to the station, make sure you take your ticket with you because you need to swipe it to leave. I don't really understand what that is about!!!!

3/10/12 was the first time I passed through this station on my way to NYC. I did research and this station was opened on 12/15/03. Back then I had been out of HS 6 months and I had finished my first fall session at Baker College. This station is ok from other reviews that I have read. I haven't been inside this station but it's not bad looking on the outside.

I have stopped here in and out when utilizing NJ transit for transportation. In the few and short times I have been here I have to say I still find it very confusing sometimes to know which track to get to and where to go. They need to label things better like they do on the actual platforms where you know what's coming when and where they don't do it upstairs in the same way which is confusing and hard to know especially IG you are in a rush

Staff are always helpful and attentive. The indoor waiting areas always seem clean and well maintained. But be prepared to be punched in the face by an overwhelming, eye-stinging toilet/urine stench on the platforms. Whatever it comes from, t's unfathomably foul.

I took the Main Line to Secaucus Junction from Hawthorne and transferred onto the next train heading to Pennsylvania Station in New York City. The building is designed to hold people under a roof so there's not much in the way of stores and attractions. It reminds me of Port Authority Bus Terminal at the George Washington Bridge. Relatively speaking, there's not many trains running through so navigation is simple. The code on your ticket is self scanned which opens the gate for you to pass through. There were two employees there to offer assistance with that.

Aesthetically, it's a beautiful building. Very bright and airy. But, it's very confusing to get around if you're not used to the layout. I've been here a few times, so I'm slowly learning to navigate. If you're confused, there are people at the turnstiles to point you in the right direction. They don't have much in the way of restaurants, since it's a transfer station and people are constantly on the move. They have a bar, Sbarros, and Dunkin Donuts. The place is fairly clean, but the lower level tracks smell like pee. VERY IMPORTANT!!!: Keep your ticket handy! You have to scan it at the turnstile in order to leave the building. If you don't have it, you'll have to buy a ticket. And frankly, that would suck.

It's actually not that bad of a station! It's big, it's spacious, sort of clean, there's a Dunkin and a bar (god bless). There's some weird abstract tree looking sculpture that's supposed to symbolize something for the Meadowlands but I don't have an Art Degree so I have no idea what it's about. Parking could be a little better with the prices, but with the $4 tickets for a one-way trip to NYC, I can't really complain much on that. Although you want to know the best part about the Secaucus station? It doesn't smell like pee or feet (talking to you NY Penn)!

Not bad. But not amazing either. It's pretty much just a transfer hub or a wait stop right outside of the city. It's kept pretty clean and has some places to sit and wait. A few conveniences as far as newsstands and DDs. Its a small transfer hub so the nice thing is there isn't a ton of transfer tracks to get to like grand central or penn station so it's not terribly confusing. This is coming from a New Yorker who generally deals with a whole lot more intense stain stations. I like that staff is situated around the train station to help people who are unfamiliar. I was one of them. Friendlier than staff at penn (if you can find them) who act like you are asking the world of them. What would I upgrade if I could? More street access elevators. Definitely. The line to grab it can be a little long and the escalator is a bit far.

NJ Transit is possibly the worst service in any category in all of America. I wish I could get my money back or monthly pass discounted for all of the times it has been delayed and I've been stuck wasting my life time sitting around waaaaiitttinnggg for the next train. Speaking of sitting and waiting, is it possible to maybe have more comfortable seating if we are all going to get stuck here?? Like, those metal green benches get super cold in winter and they are just awful to sit on in summer unless you want some striped legs and butt from the gaps. Oh yeah, and how about WiFi?!?!?! I don't think I'm asking a lot, but if I'm waiting 30 min for a train it'd be nice to have some comfort and distraction. It's not like I'm asking for TV screens like Hoboken has. STEP UP YOUR GAME SECAUCUS! I think this station has potential, but it needs some serious updates. Why have the escalators been closed for months and months on end?!? Mornings would be more enjoyable without having to be herded like cattle up and down the stairs every day during the rush. It would also be nice if they could update the monitors with real time. The train times in the morning going to Penn Station are never right. Or better yet just do it in the NJ Transit app. If I could find my track number and arrival time right in the MyTix app, that would make my life...and that goes for NY Penn too. Get on it.

WARNING!!!! This parking lot is not safe!!! When exiting the parking lot on March 11, 2018, my credit card was photographed through their self pay kiosk. 18 days later my credit card is being used in Paramus, NJ. I live 5 hours away! Luckily my credit card company caught the theft and cancelled the card before too many charges could be made. Local authorities have been contacted.

What a dump! KEEP YOUR TICKET HANDY! I threw out my ticket after I got on the train in Trenton because there is NOTHING telling a person that they will need it again! Got to Seacaucus Junction and had to purchase a ticket for $4.25 to literally walk through a turnstile to get out, because you have to scan the code on your used ticket to pass through a turnstile! Ridiculous. Employee at the turnstile was totally useless. Not willing to help me at all even though I repeatedly asked for help. Parking lot is a long walk from the station. I will avoid this place like the plague in the future.

What kind of a fucking massive train station runs out of parking?????!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing like racing there for your train and being told "lot full - you have to go to Newark Penn" Say what??
