Get in
By bus
'''New Jersey Transit''' [http://www.njtransit.com/] buses have several stops in East Brunswick, connecting to New Brunswick and other places.
'''Suburban Transit''' [http://www.coachusa.com/suburban/] bus lines 400, (rush hour:) 500, 600 connect to and from New York City at the East Brunswick Transportation Center and the Tower Center.
By car
East Brunswick can be accessed by Exit 9 off of NJ Turnpike/I-95, U.S. Route 1, and NJ Route 18.
Get around
By bicycle
East Brunswick is somewhat friendly to bicycles. There are areas with bike lanes (which you probably will never get to see, due to rarity), however you will almost always be sharing the roads with cars.
By bus
Despite being a suburban town, it is possible, albeit somewhat inconvenient, to travel by NJ Transit[http://www.njtransit.com/] bus (lines 811, 815, 818). There are stops centrally located in key areas (residential, retail, public), but you still may need to walk a distance.
By car
As a suburban town that lacks much public or mass transit, cars are the best way to get around East Brunswick. Virtually every part of East Brunswick is readily accessible by car.
By foot
Although spread out in traditional suburban style, it is possible to walk around East Brunswick. This is particularly true on Route 18, where hotels are located. Nonetheless, walking can also be very dangerous because almost all main roads are county or state highways with high speed limits. BE CAREFUL! Fatalities while crossing these highways do happen.
By horse
In certain (more rural) parts of East Brunswick, locals occasionally travel by horse. It may be possible to rent a horse to travel around those areas, but don't plan to ride a horse when you visit.
See
There are many parks in East Brunswick.
Bicentennial Park.
Great Oak Park.
Municipal Pond.
