Don't forget about the Boss bus to Giants Stadium

Otto Simpsons bus

What fans need to know:
1. The #351 Special Event Express Bus Service from the NY Port Authority Bus Terminal to the Meadowlands WILL operate for the Springsteen concerts. First bus will depart NY Port Authority (board from “Area X” located at 41st Street and 8th Avenue street level) at 4:30 PM. Roundtrip fare is $10 (all customers must purchase roundtrip tickets). After the concert, buses will depart frequently for up to 90 minutes or until all bus customers are accommodated.

2. The new rail line gives New Jersey fans statewide rail access to the Meadowlands Sports Complex with connections at Hoboken Terminal and Secaucus Junction. Fans coming from NYC connect through Penn Station New York.

3. Trains will operate between Hoboken, Secaucus Junction and the Meadowlands Rail Station beginning at 3:30 PM. There will be no dedicated event mass transportation to the Meadowlands Sports Complex prior to 3:30 PM.

4. The Meadowlands Train Station is located near Gate B at Giants Stadium

5. Return rail service begins immediately after the concert ends and will continue to operate for up to 2 hours after the event

Those are just some of the tips you learned if you took a look at the document linked in Monday’s Bruce Springsteen post. That’s the same post that lists which album The Boss will be playing in its entirety each night of the Giants Stadium run that kicks off tonight (9/30).

As NBC reminds us, “Nearly 85,000 turned out for the U2 event last week — the largest crowd in Meadowlands history — and the massive delays getting to and from the stadium (up to three hours each way from New York) caused some fans to swear off NJ Transit altogether.” NJ Transit is hoping to avoid those problems tonight.
