From our Little Falls yard to Hackensack

I-80 east to exit 64 or 65, or Route 46 to Route 17 and Route 4, brings a bus into Hackensack in about 20 minutes; Hackensack Avenue, Main Street and Passaic Street reach every school and the county complex. Heading out, Route 4 and the George Washington Bridge are 15 minutes to upper Manhattan and the Bronx, and Route 17 to the Turnpike and Lincoln Tunnel covers midtown.

On the day

Hackensack's downtown schools load on busy streets near the county complex, where parking enforcement is active, so the driver arrives in your loading window rather than early and we agree the curb in advance. Route 4 and Route 17 are slow in the afternoon peak; for Manhattan trips the driver chooses between the bridge and the tunnel based on the destination and the hour, and the return departure is set with dismissal in mind.
