Staten Island is in a pretty central location. You can go straight to brooklyn / queens / long island without having to go through the city like you would from NJ.
- coredog64 5y agoThere are two bridges connecting Staten Island to New Jersey. One is part of I-278 which then continues onto Long Island via the Verrazano Narrows bridge. With that said, I haven’t looked at the toll situation for either of the NJ bridges in years, so maybe tolls alone would be enough to remove any alleged savings from non-union labor.
- heavyset_go 5y agoI'd imagine the tolls for bridges and tunnels are prohibitively expensive for last-mile shipping going from Jersey to NYC. Tolls are absent from NYC to Jersey in some cases, though. That area also has some of the longest commutes and traffic in the country. In my mind, it doesn't make much sense for time sensitive deliveries or efficiency.
