I have been to Mt Bromo by public transport. It is a lot cheaper than hiring a car and driver, though it is slower and requires negotiating with touts.
I stayed in a cheap losmen near the rim of the crater. Next day before sunrise, I went by horseback to the rim and looked down on the yellow sulphur and swirling fumes.
You can continue to Surabaya, Malang or Yogjakarta after Mt Bromo.
