Park and Ride between Southeastern PA and NYC (Newark, Berkeley Heights: to live in, buses)

[ConfusingRotary]

I'm coming from Sellersville, PA (between lansdale/quakertown) and need to get in to the Port Authority. I don't want to drive all the way in, and I would really rather not drive all the way to the North Bergen Park and Ride. Also, I don't want to take a train (too much hassle, I work right in Times Square).

I have to be in to work around 10am, so keep that in mind. I'm familiar with the NJ Transit bus system as I used to live in Northern Jersey and ride in every day.

After checking out the map, it looks like Somerville might be a good place to park and take the bus in, but I'm worried about parking/how far away I will have to park if I do that. I'm not really familiar with that town at all.

Are there any other park and ride options? Just a quick map link to show you the approximate route I was thinking on google maps.

Any help/info would be greatly appreciated!

have you considered the option of taking a train? that way you can park at Somerville train station and take the Raritan Valley line. alternately, you may drive a little further and park at Millington, Berkeley Heights, etc and take a train directly to Penn Station.

Yeah, it's just easier to use the buses because of how close Port Authority is to my workplace (Broadway & 7th Ave). If I take a train, I have the potential of changing trains as well as riding the subway. Besides that, it's more expensive.

Try Hamilton Station , i think you might be in luck due to the economy, there might not be a long or even a month Parking waiting list. There is at least 1 Peak hour Express Train to NYC form Hamilton to Newark Penn & New York City Penn.

Hmm, Hamilton is a little over an hour from my house, whereas North Bergen Park and Ride is only 1hr45mins. I think at that point it'd be cheaper/faster to go to the park and ride (and avoid any turnpike traffic)
