Transit Network

Newark is known for its efficient public transportation. Teachers Village is located within a 10 min walking radius from Newark Penn Station and within a 5 min walking radius from the Washington Street light rail station that connects to Penn Station, Broad Street Station, Branch Brook Park and points west to Bloomfield, NJ. Penn Station is the hub for NJTRANSIT and AMTRAK trains traveling along the Northeast Corridor as well as PATH train service to Hoboken and Manhattan. Teachers Village is also proximate to an extensive local and regional bus system, accessed along Broad and Market Streets. The bus rapid transit “Go Bus” system provides fast access to Newark Liberty International Airport, which is located just 3 miles or 10 minutes from Teachers Village. An express train to the Airport, connecting to the airport light rail system, is also available from Penn Station.

Broad Street Station is located less than a mile north, offering NJ TRANSIT service to Manhattan, Hoboken and into Morris and Essex
