The schedule timing would have to be worked out, but one route would be this:Start at Hoboken train station. NJT Main/Bergen Line to Suffern. TZX to White Plains Trans Center Bee-Line 3 to Bronx/242nd Street Bx9 to Boston and Tremont Q44 to Jamaica Station Q24 to Broadway Junction B25 to Fulton and Flatbush B63 to 86th street S53 to Castleton and Broadway S46 to Morningstar S89 to Bayonne/HBLR HBLR to Hoboken |

I suppose that would be good, if there was an added restriction against using any New York rail services.There are a lot of variations to this challenge. . .if you add or take away certain restrictions. |

It seems like it would have to involve the S89 for one leg of the trip, since being immediately west of Manhattan means you're in NJ, and the only way to get from NJ to Staten Island (which is the only way to complete the southern portion of the loop, since there's no direct NJ-Brooklyn service) is to take the S89.Alright, so treating the GWB as being outside Manhattan, we can start at the GWB and do as follows: Bx36 to West Farms Q44 to Jamaica (J) train to Broadway Junction (A) train to Jay Street (R) train to 86th Street S79 to Eltingville Transit Center S89 to Bayonne HBLR to Bergenline Avenue (transfer at Pavonia/Newport) #181 to GWB I'll try the Hoboken one again: Main/Bergen County Line to Suffern TZX to White Plains #60 to New Rochelle #45 to PBP Q50 to Flushing (7) train to QBP B62 to MetroTech (R) train to 86th Street S53 to Victory Blvd S62/92 to Richmond Avenue S89 to Bayonne HBLR to Hoboken Now a really long one for fun: Start at Long Beach N33 to Far Rockaway Q22 to Beach 169th Street Q35 to Avenue U B3 to 86th Street B1 to 4th Avenue S53 to Forest Avenue S48/98 to Richmond Avenue S89 to Bayonne HBLR to Hoboken Main/Bergen County Line to Suffern TZX to White Plains #20/21 to Bedford Park Bx26 to White Plains Road Bx39 to Parkchester Q44 to Jamaica N4 to Lynbrook N15 to Long Beach |

Short Line and Adirondack Trailways use the Throgs Neck Bridge on their routes from Long Island to upstate. There are intermediate stops in Westchester and Rockland. |
