Default Cranford Commute to Manhattan

There is a bus stop outside of the train station, on North side. My questions is: can monthly train pass from Cranford to Newark be used for the 113 bus to Midtown? The bus is more expensive, but can I pay the difference in cash on the bus? How does it work? I want flexibility of taking a bus if the train is cancelled or late and I need to get to work. Thnx.

First the NJ transit site is NOT going to tell you the stops. Anyone that thinks that does not use the site.

I do not know if this works or not, but from what I read, you can almost buy a $216 bus pass, and use it on the train to cranford that would have cost you $233 for the monthly train.

Looks like Cranford is $233 for the train a month (good for a 7 zone bus), and $216 for the bus (which is a 6 zone). Also, you can see this paragraph if you look hard on the site:

You can use a train pass on the bus (I do it all the time), but NOT vice versa.

The 113X is the bus you want.

Yes, but my monthly train pass will be only zone 2, $116 a month, its not enough for the bus that goes to Midtown. I guess I can buy few rides for the bus and have those handy when I want to take a bus instead of train, if those rides don't expire

The big question is "do the bus drivers/train conductors know this". I have never tried it
