Finally our friend PAT (Port Authority Transit, of course), has introduced an ONLINE TRIP PLANNER. Imagine that!

The trip planner tells you specific bus routes, stops, departure times, and arrival times you need to get from Point A to Point B anywhere in the Port Authority area.

I played around with it and here is a tip:

Enter only intersections. When I tried to enter an address, the system said, “trip not possible.” That’s annoying. So yes, only intersections!

So now you can get around without asking everyone in your office or your old lady neighbor who’s lived on that same block for 76 years. Yay!
