I will be starting a new job in Manhattan New York and the quickest commuting route seems to be driving from Sewell NJ to the Hamilton train station.

I would take the train to Newark and follow that up with the Path to World Trade Center. All in all im looking at just over 1.5 hours.

Mapquest tells me that the ride from Sewell to Hamilton is 40min. Does anyone know if I will experience a lot of traffic between 6-7am ?

Sewell is in Gloucester county whereas Hamilton is in Mercer County. I doubt that even at 6-7 am you'll be looking at a 40 minute drive to Hamilton Station. Your commute will probably be more like 2+ hours one way from door to desk.

Your commute is more than 130 min. No way it is 90 min. Other option is drive to 8a park and ride and take downtown bus.

If you actually manage to put up with this commute for any length of time, I would like to personally shake your hand and buy you a beer... unless of course this is a troll thread?

Your basically proposing commuting from one metro area to another (far-out Philly suburbs to NYC) EVERY DAY. Its just not going to work out long-term (or even short-term, for that matter).

From personal experience: Sewell to Hamilton train station is 1 hour, with no traffic (and no, traffic shouldn't be too bad heading north on 295 at that time of day).

Train to Newark is at least 1 hour, PATH ride after that will be another 1/2 hour, depending on timing. Door to door, your looking at 3 hours. Each way.

You're best move is to move further North. End of story. You're trying to commute from Sewell to Hamilton to NYC?? Don't hurt/kill yourself. That's just not a feasible commute. The other posters are right...you're looking at maybe 2.5 to 3 hours (give or take) EACH WAY. That's nuts. From the Trenton area on up, that would be a doable commute. Not from South Jersey outside of Philly.
