Yeah, I have to completely agree with this. My boyfriend lived up in Nutley (right outside of NYC) and would take the train from Newark to Trenton, then get the bus from Trenton to Burlington every weekend. It was (at worst) about a 2 hour commute total for him (about 75 miles, total). It would probably be a nightmare using a bus and not a train to travel into NYC with the traffic. His mother worked in NYC and drove her car to work from Nutley, N.J. - he told me that some days it would actually take her THREE HOURS to get to work in one direction because of traffic, etc. and how miserable it would make her. You can't rely upon a bus getting you into the city like you can a train. It's much easier, dependable and far less stressful than being stuck in NYC traffic in a bus.
