Travel to the "Sixth Borough" on a Charter Bus
Jersey City Skyline Just across the Hudson River from Lower Manhattan, Jersey City is referred to by many in the greater New York City metropolitan area as the "sixth borough." One of NYC's most cherished icons, the Statue of Liberty, stands tall in what appear to be New Jersey waters just off the Jersey City shoreline (the National Park Service says that, even though Lady Liberty is closer to New Jersey, she's considered a resident of New York). The Empty Sky Memorial here pays tribute to those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. The Ellis Island Immigration Museum is also here, with exhibits and artifacts from its storied history as the entry point for more than 12 million European immigrants into the United States.
Jersey City may not be in the Big Apple, but it's clearly a part of America's biggest city. You don't want to try to navigate your own way around this exciting and energetic destination. There's a better way to take in all Jersey City has to offer— with a charter bus rental from US Coachways.
Make It Easy on Everyone—Visit Jersey City on a Charter Bus!
Planning and pulling off a group outing can be a lot of work—one of the smartest things you can do to both simplify the process and ensure a positive experience—travel on a charter bus from US Coachways. With a charter bus, you'll have:
- A reliable means of travel — Delays and cancellations are virtually nonexistent with charter buses. Your driver has the resources to identify potential roadway problems in advance and find alternate routes. In addition, because of our vast network of charter bus service providers nationwide, it's usually not a problem to find a replacement coach.
- More flexibility than other modes of travel — You tell us when you want to leave, where you want us to pick you up, how often (and where) you want to stop, how long you want to stay, and when you want to come home.
- The most comfortable way to get to and from Jersey City — The seats are wide, with more leg room than any other type of travel. There's no middle seat, either. The aisles are spacious, too, and you can move about at any time.
- More travel for your money — Because you share many of the costs of travel with fellow passengers, you can usually expect your outing to be highly cost-effective.
- Safety and security — With highly trained professionals at the wheel, charter buses have extremely low accident rates. In addition, you won't have to worry about your personal items—there's limited access to the bus, so it's easy to monitor who comes and goes.
- Unparalleled convenience — You won't have to fight traffic, check the GPS, worry about the time or try to find a place to park. Your driver will handle all those details. You'll be on the same charter bus for your whole trip and your luggage will ride with you—no worries about missed connections or lost bags. There's no TSA security checkpoint and your phone won't interfere with navigational systems. You won't have to wait in line, take off your shoes, or put your devices on "bus mode."
- Less risk of getting stuck in traffic — Your coach makes a great meeting place, whether you're prepping employees, talking strategy before a game, or giving last minute instructions to travelers. It's also a great place for a little quiet time.
- A positive impact on the environment — A charter bus helps you go green by reducing the number of private vehicles on the roads (and the carbon emissions they would produce).

Jersey City—Have Fun in the Big Apple's Sixth Borough
Exchange Place, Jersey City Get ready for a great time in Jersey City:
- The arts and culture — You can't miss some of the city's most famous art—it's emblazoned on buildings across Jersey City. Look for the Statue of Liberty mural, the giant white tiger, the robot family in Victorian clothing, or the huge portrait of John Lennon. Jersey City is known as a creative community—check out some of the many amazing galleries in the city, as well as the exhibits at the Museum of Russian Art. The local Hudson County Shakespeare Festival offers a free production of one of the bard's works every month, with the plays typically staged in city parks in the summer. Look for live music at one of the hundreds of bars, clubs and other venues, including the White Eagle Hall.
- The historical attractions — You can visit the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, as well as Liberty Island, journeying by ferry from Liberty State Park in Jersey City. The Ellis Island Museum is housed in the main building of the former immigration facility, which has been restored to its 1920s French Renaissance Revival architectural appearance. The Empty Sky memorial, also located in Liberty State Park, pays homage to 746 New Jersey residents who died in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The memorial has twin granite walls in a path that points to Ground Zero, with the names of all the victims etched on the walls. The Newkirk House, built in the last 1600s, is one of the oldest standing structures in the state of New Jersey. There's also the Van Wagenen House, also known as the "Apple Tree House," where General George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette stood under an apple tree and planned military operations in 1780.
- The food — Jersey City offers pretty much anything you can find in NYC, but often at a more reasonable price and with greater accessibility. If you crave Indian food, head over to Newark Avenue by the Journal Square PATH (rapid transit) station to what the locals call Little India, where you'll find restaurants and well-stocked Indian grocery stores. The pizza in Jersey City is legendary, leading the New York Times to suggest that the best pies in the Big Apple may actually be in New Jersey. You can find just about any type of culinary offering, though, from Hungarian and Polynesian to Czech, Armenian, Bangladeshi, Croatian, Scottish, Southwestern, Tunisian, Uzbek, Persian and Norwegian. You'll also find plenty to slake your thirst, with craft breweries and craft beer bars dotting the Jersey City landscape, as well as some of the best coffee shops in the metropolitan area.
Of course, there may be no better place to get a great view of the Manhattan skyline than across the Hudson from the shores of Jersey City.
