For Central Jersey-based New York Yankees fans trying to get to the stadium, it comes down to time vs. money.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">Using Metuchen as a starting point, News 12 compared a trip by car and a trip via transit for a Thursday afternoon game.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">A trip by car was projected to take 59 minutes by car before accounting for traffic. Drivers will pay $50 for parking, plus round-trip EZ-Pass tolls and the toll to cross the George Washington Bridge. It came out to $89.19.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">A trip by transit is a viable option for those near an NJ Transit station. Several lines go to New York Penn; from Metuchen, it&#8217;s the Northeast Corridor. From there, it&#8217;s a short walk to the 34th Street-Herald Square subway station, where riders can catch a D train to Yankee Stadium at 161st Street and River Ave.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">This trip took a little longer &#8211; one hour and 38 minutes &#8211; but cost far less, at $33.80 round-trip.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">Seastreak Ferry also offers a route from Highlands. That costs $80 or $85, depending on the game.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">And for New Jersey&#8217;s Mets fans, News 12 will be trying out a new method to get to Citi Field by bus from the Garden State in an upcoming &#8220;Toll of Commuting.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Baseball season is in full swing, but getting to the stadium isn\u2019t always a walk in the park.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":211077,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-211076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
