"The Commuter Plan provides: 25 trips valid for 30 days, for $18.75, at a discounted rate of 75%, at $0.75 per trip."

"The Frequent Traveler Plan provides: 20 trips valid for 90 days, for $20.00, at a discounted rate of 67% at $1.00 per trip."

I didn't realize the commuter discounts were that steep. I know they are raising rates on July 1st and thought I read the commuter plan would be going to $3 while the actual toll was $4. It is actually only going up a quarter to $1 for the commuter plan and $1.25 for the frequent plan.

At those rates, you are correct that the bridge is immaterial when you're talking about a commute.

Check out the Trolley Square neighborhood in downtown Wilmington, DE. It's the young professional neighborhood in Wilmington. Looks like a 30 or so mile, 30-45 minute commute, but probably little traffic, as suggested. I also agree on re-posting in the Delaware board, as I don't know Wilmington very well and which blocks are good/bad. Woodstown has civilization too, but it's definitely a Philly/Wilmington exburb that is more family-oriented. Good luck!

^^^ what does that mean? Are you talking about bus service? He will have a car.

Qjbusmaster has a habit of posting about bus service on topics where the question didn't even involve bus service and clearly indicated the availability of a car. While he has an admirable knowledge of bus routes throughout the region, his posts are often irrelevant to the topic at hand.
