For anyone interested in this info., I just spoke with Bloomfield parking authority this week. They indicated that it is about a 3 year wait for a parking spot at the Bloomfield Ave. station. There are metered spots near that station that you can park at for up to 12 hours. Bloomfield station now has free jitney service - a south end jitney (that goes east of the station) and a north end one, that goes up Broad St. It is limited though - it makes 4 trips in the morning, and 5 trips in the evening. The times may work more in favor of midtown or Hoboken commuters, based on the time, since they are designed to service the midtown and Hoboken trains that arrive / depart within 10 min. or so of each other (so you may be hanging out at the station 10 min. longer than you'd like).
