Folks have been asking me about public transportation. Here is what the hotel says on their web site, but I think it is a poor suggestion:
Other Transportation
Bus Station
Morris Plains New Jersey Transit Station (7.3 mi)
Train Station
Convent Station (3.0 mi)
Courtyard by Marriott® Hanover Whippany
157 Route 10 East
Whippany, New Jersey 07981 USA
Phone: 1-973-887-8700
Better alternative, IMO: there is a
bus to Whippany (stops right on Rt. 10 -- the schedule says at the Whippany Diner -- 3 minutes from the hotel) which makes much more sense.
The bus to Whippany is by Coach USA --
Coach USA -- it is the #77 from Port Authority,
There is one bus that works well on Saturday ... here is a snip from the #77 schedule:
Weekend 9:15a 10:23a #77
there is one 2 hours later, getting in at 12:23.
They say the stop is at the Whippany Diner, but I just phoned the diner directly and the person who answered says the stop is actually across the street and down a few stores. (And on their side but down a few stores again for the way back to NYC).
We need someone to volunteer running down to the bus stop to pick people up!! We can use cell phones to coordinate, etc.
There's a 2:55, 4:55, 6:55, 8:55 and 10:55 p.m. (yea, I get the pattern) bus back to Post Authority.
