What is the cheapest way I can travel from New Jersey to New York City by train or buss?
I'm going to be going to New York City alot during the summer and paying for NJTransit is getting expensive since I am a college student. So if anyone has ideas or alternatives to it to get me to NYC that'd be great. I am trying o leave from Summit, NJ or somewhere near that area.

Answer 1 :
Nothing is cheaper than the bus,
Answer 2 :
You're already traveling to NYC the cheapest way. Suburban Bus lines goes through Summit to NYC but the price is way up there. Even if you buy a monthly ticket, it would cost much more than NJT.
Answer 3 :
Seems the only other alternative beside NJ transit is bus. From Summit get a ten trip pass -- Here is the link BUT it is 2008 pricing. http://www.lakelandbus.com/Fares.html there may be other options but that was the quickest to come up .
Answer 4 :
I know the PATH train is cheap but I have not idea if it goes to Summitt, but maybe something to look into.
Answer 5 :
They are almost the same price.I believe the train is about $4 extra,thats because you get into NYC quicker.
Answer 6 :
Students can get a discount on NJ Transit tickets, but only if you buy a monthly pass.
Answer 7 :
You can take bus route 70 from the Summit train station to Newark Penn Station. Once at Newark Penn Station, take the PATH train to Manhattan. The fare on the bus is $2.60 one way ($5.20 round trip per day), and the fare on the PATH will cost you $1.75 each way ($3.50 round trip per day). You can get a discounted unlimited ride MetroCard at Newark Penn Station PATH station for $25 a week and ride both the PATH and the Subway in Manhattan for as many times as you wish. I hope this information is very helpful. Good luck
