It has a Bus Station which has Buses like the Tappan Zee Express, Hudson Link, Coach USA and the TOR. It has the NJ Transit Train. And it also has taxi service, including Continental Taxi. So even though it has its good days and bad days, overall this is a pretty good train/bus station, and taxi service area, that gets people to Rockland, Westchester County, NYC, Other parts of NY State (Long Island, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster, etc.), and the state of New Jersey.

Sketchy place

Not a very good station. The station is dirty with litter everywhere. It is also all around town. Speaking of the town, it is kind of sketchy around here. As for the rail, they look badly made. They look like the leveling is uneven and that they aren’t even parallel. The rails look bended. When a train arrived, it tilted as if it was going to tip over, sort of. I could tell that the tilt wasn’t intentional unlike stops like Pearl River and Maplewood because the turn isn’t big enough and the tilt only goes on for part of the turn. This place isn’t horrendous, but I would try to stay away from it.

The station isn't very safe, is not well maintained and smells like sewage. The system of taking the train to the city is ok though.
