Commute from Marlboro to Port Authority (Old Bridge: homes, shopping center, bus)

[HomeSearchInNJ]

Hi,

We are very excited to be moving to Marlboro next month but one thing making me nervous & is my commute from Marlboro to NYC. I know its easily going to be an 1.5hr commute each way as compared to my current 45min commute from Queens but wanted your advice in whatever way possible.
We are in the Woods development in Marlboro. I know I have to drive to the bus stop in any case and want to know whats feasible

1. Take a bus from Marlboro Shopping Center P&R to PABT.
2. Take a bus from Old Bridge P&R to PABT.
3. Take a bus from somewhere else to PABT.

I feel that option 2 is slightly cheaper and faster. I dont know how the parking situation is at the OB and other Park & rides. I heard the OB lot allows non-residents to park @ $2/day, is that true?
As for the Marlboro lot, I have no idea as to where it is and how do I get the parking permit.

What do you guys think ? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Isn't that walking distance from rte 9??? If so walk to the 139 and call it a day. The 139 runs like a city.
