Several of the stations are located near well-known Jersey City sites. Jersey City has thirteen stops on the railway line: Danforth Avenue (East of Garfield Avenue), Richard Street (East of Garfield Avenue), Liberty State Park and Park-Ride (between Communipaw and Johnston Avenues), Jersey Avenue (South of Grand Street), Marin Boulevard (South of Grand Street), Essex Street (between Hudson and Greene Streets), Exchange Place (Hudson Street between York and Montgomery Streets), Harborside Financial Center (East of Greene Street between Morgan and Steuben Streets), Harsimus Cove (Metro Plaza Drive), and Pavonia-Newport Mall Drive East the western branch from Liberty State Park runs South to Garfield Avenue (between Union and Carteret Streets), Martin Luther King Drive (at Virginia Avenue) and West Side Avenue (at Claremont Avenue). The Light Rail project began during the administration of Governor Thomas Kean in the late 1980s.Ĭommuters traveling through Jersey City compare it to when trolley cars moved through the community's streets. When the 20.5-mile railway service is completed, it will reach the Vince Lombardi Park-Ride in Bergen County. In April 2000, the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail of NJ Transit opened the beginning of its passenger service from Bayonne through Jersey City.
