   I know some people who go into the city early on a Saturday or Sunday.  They   
   drive all the way in.  At that time it is easy to do so, easy to park, and   
   faster than the train.  Obviously, convenience varies by specific destination   
   and departure time, but    
   sometimes driving all the way in can be a good method.  (I once did it myself   
   and was surprised how easy it was, even to park.)

   When driving all the way in isn't practical, did you ever consider using   
   MetroPark station?  I don't know about cost, but I suspect it might be faster   
   than SIRT and the ferry and subway (obviously depending on your destination).   
      
      
   Sometimes I drive to Secaucus Jct and get NJT there. Saves me 15 minutes, plus   
   has more trains.  But I don't know if that lot fills up on weekedays or game   
   days.
