Default Commuting to LGA from.....

Central New Jersey. Any advice on how I can commute to LGA from Central Jersey? I hear parking at LGA is like $22/day. I'd be leaving my car there for 5 days on a 4 day trip. I'm loosing my money before I ever make it. Why can't this be a little less painful?

Hitchhike on the Turnpike to the airport.


On a side note...

I *heart* LGA

Train it is. From Hamilton station to Penn station, and then the NY Airport Bus service to LGA. $23 total.

anyone think a MSP-LGA commute would be do-able, considering the east coast air traffic and weather?

Ditto that. I hear guys complaining all the time here, but it's honestly not that bad for me. The major reason is that I live in base.
