[at-l] New York Advice

[wdaniels@bestweb.net (Walt Daniels)]

The local commuter line is MetroNorth not Amtrack. All the passenger service
is on the east side of the Hudson. There is bus service from Bear Mt to NYC.

The town north of Bear Mt is Fort Montgomery but it is not useful for
transportation.

Look at www.nynjtc.org/trails/no-car.html for links to trails and public
transportation in the NYC area.
