Fastest way to Manhattan from Jersey City is to drive by your own car. It will take 15-16 minutes to reach Manhattan from the Grove street. Fuel cost of the car will be like $1.50 only. By PATH train you can reach the destination by 18-19 minutes which may cost you $3. These are the most affordable and quickest ways to reach Manhattan from Jersey City NJ followed by Bus and Tram which may cost three fold and journey duration will be double or more.
The PATH train is almost always your fastest bet. A ride from Exchange Place to the World Trade Center, for example, takes just a few minutes, completely bypassing any street traffic.
Depending on your specific location, the ferry can be a close competitor. It offers a very quick and direct trip if you are traveling between waterfront spots like Paulus Hook and Downtown Manhattan's Brookfield Place.
Driving or taking a bus through the Holland Tunnel is typically the slowest method during peak commute hours. The traffic is simply too unpredictable to rely on for a speedy trip.
