Yeah man thats almost the complete other side of town. Take you longer to walk from 3rd to 8th than from 33rd at Penn station to 42nd&8th. Sounds weird but its true.

I'd rather walk from 8th to 3rd on 42nd then 3rd & 42nd to 34th & 8th.

Are there buses from Edison straight in manhattan? Prices?

You can always drive to Perth Amboy and take the Ferry across the river.
There's no traffic and the Parkway South is a breeze in the morning.

Other than that . . .

You're probably better off leaving things as it. I don't see a better way.

Even if you take a cheaper route and possibly drive to Newark and hop on a train, you'd still have to deal with the unpredictable Parkway or Turnpike traffic - and parking in Newark isn't cheap.

Have you tried to drive to Staten Island Ferry, the parking is $7 per 24 hours, and the ferry is free, 24 hours...

You can drive to Jersey City, park at the Liberty Park Light rail, then take the path from Pavonia Newport to 33rd St, then take a subway to 42 nd. You'll save money, but commuting will not be fun

But the outerbridge toll is $16, so it won't make sense.

There are Suburban Transit buses that run out of the Tower Center in East Brunswick (Rte 18). Some buses go directly to Port Authority, but there is a really good schedule for cross-town buses too. They go cross-town via 42nd street, stopping at every avenue from 7th to 3rd. Cost is $320 a month
