What riders say
The general consensus is largely negative, with reviewers describing the location as an inadequate and unpleasant bus stop rather than a true plaza or station. On the positive side, reviewers appreciate that it offers late-night bus service across the bridge until 12:45 a.m., provides adequate cover during inclement weather, and features nearby amenities like ample parking and a quiet cafe suitable for reading or working. On the negative side, users strongly criticize the stop for feeling dangerous due to high-speed traffic passing just feet away, as well as being dirty with seats that need cleaning. Additional complaints note that it is just a barely covered bench accessed by steep stairs, suffers from severe traffic and double-parking that blocks transit, and lacks driving directions on Google Maps to facilitate pick-ups.

So this end of Feb is nicest part for bus stations in this area of New Jersey bc it's the only one that has a bus picking up to go back over bridge to GWB in Washington heights as late as 12:45am. Most of jersery besides fort Lee it's usually about 10 unless you're going to midtown
Just to let you know, as no one told me.. this is neither station nor "plaza". This is really just a bus stop in the form of a barely covered bench by the side of the streaming traffic disembarking the GWB. Exit is via a steep set of stairs climbing up to the street. Not sure if there were elevators -will update once I find them.
The worst bus stop ever. Hard to believe it is legal. Cars going 70 mph 3 feet from you. Will never return. God forbid if a driver loses control of his car. Disaster!
Dirty Seats need cleaning Enough cover when inclement weather hits Many people double park waiting for passengers, however that makes it difficult for regular buses and jitters to provide service
Google maps doesn’t give me the option to drive here. Only walking or public transportation. I need to send this location for someone to pick me up from this bus stop, but I can’t!
Way too much traffic.
Meh
Excellent
There is plenty of parking space and the cafe is quiet, so it is a great place to read a book or work on a laptop.
