Times Square to American Dream Mall via Public Transportation - Raw & Unedited

[@michaelchin3550]

Thank you for showing us how to get to the American Dream Mall via public transportation. My wife and I are looking forward this in the near future. We got rid of our car since we live in NYC and there is limited parking and too much traffic. Pandemic and retirement have now shown me how to live more simply. Going to the American Dream Mall will be big for us. Even when I go to Costco I feel like I am on a mini vacation. LOL.

[@ActionKid]

Much appreciated! I know it can be quite a challenge to navigate public transportation, especially with all the machines and passageways people need to deal with.

[@sct4040]

I hear you.

[@felixjoaquinliranzo7295]

Can you please do JFK to adm please 🤗

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

29:35 i still remember the couple of Nets basketball games i went to at the Continental Airlines Arena when it used to be that. Jason Kidd NJ Nets era

[@dianebaker5243]

You was marvellous working out how to get to the bus terminal from the underground train station. Lovely smooth ride on the bus. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome!

[@mtthaqueen6683]

That Port Authority walk aint no joke

[@Anavirn99]

Great timing to go to American Dream I was planning to go there this year and now it's easier for me to get this destination! Thanks AK!

[@ActionKid]

Excellent

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

9:28 that bus terminal totally reminds me of the inside of an airport with the gates here and there. There was a touch screen bus schedule thing near a mezzanine by the escalators that helps to find bus schedules and terminals. 11:32 yeah that can get kinda confusing.

[@defrocker0569]

I guess that's his first time. I think he'll get the hang of it.

[@ActionKid]

It can get quite confusing in the bus terminal with all the gates and departures!

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

@@ActionKid in a weird way i think its kinda refreshing to see the insides of Port Authority with the gates and stuff being all over.

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

Fantastic trip to the American Dream Mall . Thanks for showing how to navigate our way through to the bus terminal from the subway. You made so easy for us , much appreciated AK , sorry you lost your glove . 😯

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome! It can get quite confusing but now you know what to do!

[@jarihult]

Enjoyful bus ride and great video !! The American Dream Mall looks awesome 👍 Thank you A K for sharing this excellent bus ride with us 👍!!!

[@ActionKid]

Glad you enjoyed the bus ride!

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

The escalator: was invented to make going up and down easier That one escalator at 2:05: I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that Only weekends? If NJ really want people to visit that mall, they should be offering weekday service as well! Really missing out

[@CommentLordHandle]

No just stick with pyongyang

[@fukyu2]

Yes, it was invented by your grandfather Kim Il Sung

[@airbus7373]

They offer weekday service but it’s only with 4 buses per day. Otherwise you gotta take the local buses

[@BoneThugAngel922]

We got everyday service from Passaic County NJ.

[@dariandesigns]

This was a nice throwback for me to watch since my bf and I stayed in a NJ Airbnb and we had to use this station after taking a CT train to Manhattan for our little vacation before my fall semester of college🥰

[@avdv8960]

Interesting feeling change, going from the underground subway to where the bus was above ground. A very definite feeling of relief?, I didn’t know I had.

[@ActionKid]

Yes, it's very different

[@eljefescientist5726]

In 2019, I commuted on NJ Transit bus everyday. Thank you for the Jan 2022 PABT footage- the terminal looks EXACTLY the same!

[@nayanpanchal39]

Same

[@SevenHunnid]

I get paid to smoke weed & get high on my KZbin channel 💯💨 I don’t intend of bragging, I’m just passionate for the herb! 🌿 The California Dream😈

[@TransitAndTeslas]

Been there about 5 years ago. Good to know it still looks the same.

[@ActionKid]

I don't think that terminal will ever change!

[@pv2331]

AK thanks for the memory. I took that bus to NJ when the New York Nets played at the arena. When the bus going leaving I remember going that way in the 70's. Be safe

[@Zkittle]

Good new music at ending, very fun show as well.

[@rinievanaart2871]

When I am travelling to New york city, then I going a day to American Dream Mall. That's for sure. Thanks for this nice and smooth bus ride AK .

[@maril1379]

Never heard of this place thumbs up

[@arniegreenberg2719]

Great description on getting from subway to bus. When I lived in Brooklyn I used to do that often.

[@NeuroDude64]

I love this uncut video!!!!

[@defrocker0569]

I like in Newark and frequently take the bus to NYC. There is a main area where you can purchase tickets from a clerk entering the building nearest 40th St., and if you go into the other entrance close to 42nd St., as you walk inside, there are ticket machines and a monitors to check the bus time and gate. Those are the two main entrances inside Port Authority across from the NY Times building. Sorry for the lengthy comment, but hope you had a good time.

[@ActionKid]

Thanks for the great info!

[@brooklynbull-e3565]

I take the 107 to New York, I live on the border of Newark & Irvington

[@OnTheVerge1]

i really love and enjoyed the bus ride, thanks alot for sharing ❤

[@stylishbunny6854]

Wooo love this. 💕 I totally felt your pain regarding losing one glove. I lose one every winter lolz. Hope you got a nice new gloves.

[@jamellloydhampton7907]

WOAW THEY DID IT OMG 😲 THAT LOOKS AWESOME

[@elsplace896]

Very enjoyable. With it going down to -3 overnight I'm looking forward to a Coney Island or Brighton Beach tour if you are inclined this summer.

[@flaviosantana2431]

Thanks for sharing it. We still stuck in home so it's nice to see new things.

[@flojo1983]

Thanks for sharing Wow that's a big bus station

[@michaelmorales1475]

Not sure if you're gonna see this but you gotta make "Times Square to" a Series.

[@Hatincluded]

Great video. I'm coming to NY from Ireland on March 14th fingers crossed.....I'm definitely doing this trip.

[@Des_Zee]

Was waiting on this one. Thanks AK 👍💯

[@DerkuiDerkui]

Thank you so much for all these NY travel content. I'm traveling to New York in a couple of weeks and your videos are very helpful.

[@elizabethdiaz5434]

Thank you for sharing! Ride to the bus and ticket wow have a great fun 😀 👍

[@luxmajor7151]

Thank you. Really enjoyed this video- very helpful. Look forward to the follow up video. Hope you buy the new heated gloves.😍🥰👏🏻👏🏻💚

[@gooseylou2]

Your vids are iconic

[@AmbroseChamberpot]

"On select buses, validators are installed to enable scanning of mobile and barcoded paper tickets and passes." Seems like every NJ Transit line has their own rules. In Hoboken, you had to scan your one-way ticket on the platform. I've never had to scan a NJT bus ticket.

[@defrocker0569]

I've haven't done that also.

[@TransitAndTeslas]

It seems the validators are mostly for mobile tickets

[@ActionKid]

I don't remember if I've ever scanned a ticket. Most of them time I show my paper tickets or mobile tickets to the bus driver.

[@jbjba879]

You have to give it to the driver,that is

[@nlpnt]

No weekday service, so they're not using it as a regular park-and-ride stop like Willowbrook Mall. Pre-Covid I would go to an annual convention in Wayne at a hotel near Willowbrook and take an extra day to go into the city, always safe fast reliable service from NJ Transit but the Ramada's shuttle made me wait over half an hour the first year, thereafter I drove from the hotel to Willowbrook (I had my car since I had driven to NJ from home, but wasn't about to try doing it in Manhattan).

[@bobosofyan5801]

Thanks for showing all the process and very nice bus ride.

[@ellej3112]

I felt excited at 15:45 minutes when you were on the bus going to the American Dream Mall and the bus started to go!!! 😃 😊 😀

[@chiefjoes.wiggumindonutswe5662]

AK has been all over NYC's four platforms; whether it be by ground, via the waterways, through the air etc. -- but he hasn't been below the surface and into the sewers where Master Splinter and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles home base is. 🐱‍👤🤙🏼

[@tinkerbelltheredhead]

Looking forward to the mall video. 👍

[@owenmeyer1305]

Thank you for showing this. In general, I've wanted to use NJ Transit a bit and you made it seem very possible. I'm sorry about your heated glove.

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome! NJ Transit is a mess of complicated ticketing, machines, and fares based on zones!

[@pcimprezzive]

Port authority has so many bus lines going into specific retail spots. They used to & probably still have buses going to Ikea, Mitsuwa, & that Soju spa across from Mitsuwa

[@TheRickWolf]

Nice ride. The narrator seems like a very pleasant fellow! Good information. 🙂

[@andrispaez374]

Thank you for another great video ✨👍 just made it to the bus 🚌 stay warm and be safe ❄️🤍

[@celsacaunedo9261]

Hello AK as usual another great video, I have never been to this mall, so thank you for taking me , well us my husband is watching too, thank you, stay safe and well, too bad you lost your glove! 😋😋👍👍🌈🌈

[@michaelmorales1475]

Nice, I always Pass by this Mall when I go to New Jersey and it sometimes looks Abandoned.

[@deborahdesanto2313]

Hi A.K you really learned how to get around and travel, your videos get better and better. 😊👋

AK, thank you for this informative video, and you're so helpful to future visitors! 🤗 The bus ride to the American Dream Mall really builds up the hype to the dedicated EPIC mall video, and I'm so looking forward to it! 🤩

[@ActionKid]

You're welcome! I'm looking forward to releasing it!

[@jacquelinegangas7728]

Hello Ak, I saw the video of the American Dream Mall on your Action Kid Extra channel, I thought it was great, and today you show us how to get to the Mall, great! Huge greetings to you, from Santiago de Chile💝👌😘

[@rogernyman508]

Very helpful!

[@GodfatherDaeDae9987]

Great video bud, I travel on MTA transportation all the time, we could be travel buds! And yes PABT is definitely a maze.

[@norbertmuller3979]

Every long walk NYC, you must take time and good shoes. Beautiful City.

[@MrSloika]

Holland Tunnel connects lower Manhattan to Jersey City.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

A human: trying to move around without getting lost Lumiose City: Prepare for trouble... Port Authority Bus Terminal: *MAKE IT DOUBLE!* seriously, that bus terminal gives Lumiose City a run for its money when it comes to being like a maze. But the NJ Transit ticket machines make up for it by being straight-forward and helpful if you don't know which route you're taking

[@AZAtro2648]

Why are we talking about a Pokémon city?

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

@@AZAtro2648 because like the PABT, it's also pretty easy to get lost in Lumiose City cause it's a maze. Something they both have in common

[@PatricioGarcia1973]

Nice trip and detailed video. I may have to do it one of these weekends. Although it make take some planning since I have to take a bus to 242nd, then the #1 to 42nd, and then the NJT bus to the mall. One thing, they should fix up signing on the terminal, and get rid of the panhandlers…

[@j4kgang921]

I live in Greenpoint so this is good and I have been to Dream mall with the kids like 4 times already. They love IT THERE!!!❤💯💯

[@rephaelrechitzky9763]

Thank you Kenneth. This was a great ride. Hope you got a new glove for this cold weather. I will be waiting for your show about the mall itself. I sounds like an unbelievable place that one should visit. Have fun and see you soon again.

[@ActionKid]

It was a very quick ride

[@88_JJW_88]

This is very useful as I will be coming to NY in Mar...I hope you can also do a similar one to Woodbury outlets. Thanks.😄

[@merychung6776]

Thanks for the video.

[@Paulholio69]

You know, I used to travel that route from Penn street to NJ almost 27 years ago, and it’s hardly changed!

[@ActionKid]

Very good

[@DavidHHH99]

For those who watched this video hoping to get an idea of where the bus lets off, check out his sequel video walking through the mall. You can see that the bus lets off outside the entrance to the mall near the Swarovski store, which is near the section of the mall where Saks is located.

[@graffmixer]

I knew there had to be a bus at the Port Authority. Thanks for showing this. I've been dying to go there but have no car to get there from the NYC. Definitely planning a trip when it gets nice out!!! Not sure if you used the NJ Transit app to purchase tickets

[@sct4040]

Hello Action Kid, would you show us how to use the LIRR from Penn Station to Grand Central Station?

[@rinkughosh427]

Fantastic

[@w.e.b.8719]

I almost cannot believe the new, gleaming, graffito free subway tiles in the concourse. It looks wonderful.

[@brendalara8244]

Finally I can figure out how to get there, thank you Action Kid, my daughter can finally go there.

[@ActionKid]

Glad to be of help

[@marcellagamble6633]

Your city has what seen , like a nice confortable bus rides. I like yall buses there, seen so cozy.

[@ShawnBehave.]

I can see why MTV likes this channel more...they can talk to this guy very easily...but then again, so can I...LOL! Anyways, Rt. 355 on NJ Transit...very neat, very affordable (who can go wrong w/ $9 to-and-from the terminal & the American Dream Mall?) & if you're very punctual, VERY useful...as a matter of fact, EXTREMELY useful...only thing is that runs on weekends & holidays and one other thing: It runs every hour...time it well...peace!

[@TechExploresNYC]

That's pretty fast commute to the mall from public transit. I would just suck it up and pay 16 bucks in toll coming back.

[@boogiegirl4276]

Interesting journey.

[@arimermelstein9167]

Seeing this video now, but I was there this year but I drove from southern NJ. I think that the bus now might stop in a covered area closer to an entrance but I could be wrong.

[@joguzman9620]

I wish I could have you as my tour guide when I visit New York

Next you can show people how to take the A To 175th St and take a NJT bus from the GWB bus terminal to IKEA and the Garden State Plaza mall in Paramus. BTW, the GWB bus terminal has been recently renovated.

It's way better walk the distance outside because you have to go down long stairs and then up plus there's a lot of homeless down there

CC that has a chip in it or apple pay for example

[@javianjohnson8746]

Unless there was some type of edit that I didn't realize, I calculated a 13 minute ride from NYC to the American Dream Mall once the bus started moving. Really impressive time considering NYC traffic
