Please take a look at the map. There are plenty of things there, other than just one hotel. There's the whole town of Lyndhurst there, and the southern parts of Rutherford, just some 5 km away from the stadium. Or, if we take 5 miles, that would mean about 8 km. 8 km is about the limit until what distance can be covered by bicycle without an effort.

A society exists for maintaining infrastructure. It's a basic function and it's unforgivable for a city to fail on that!

EDIT: And because it's really useful to look at the map, here's a direct link to show the distances: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_car&route=40.81219%2C-74.07257%3B40.7875%2C-74.13428#map=14%2F40.80825%2F-74.09755

All of whom may take the NJ transit bus system to do so.

That is a self-clarity. But why should every human being use buses only? That sounds incredibly dystopic, to be honest.
