I used to take the bus from Midland Park years ago when I worked at the PABT. There are express buses during rush hour, and what it basically boils down to is the earlier you leave, the better chance you have of not sitting stuck in traffic. There's also always a chance that the express bus lane (XBL) at the Lincoln Tunnel will stop dead if one of the buses breaks down. It happens, not every day, but frequently enough.
From the PABT you can take the E train downtown. Naturally this will take longer than the NJ Transit train/PATH trip does, but if you really want to avoid taking trains it can be done, and if you are catching one of the earliest rush hour buses, you'll have less of a chance of a breakdown or heavy traffic to slow your commute.
