George asked about my cousin's traveling from The Bronx to go to synagogue every Saturday in Manhattan: How far does she travel? Does it take very long?
It's quicker than so many people's commuting from the outer boroughs to their jobs in Manhattan. The Express Bus, once on the bus, takes about 20-25 minutes to go from Throggs Neck to Manhattan on the East Side, then she has a pleasant (if the weather is cooperative) walk from the bus stop to the synagogue on the Upper West Side.
