Fastest way to commute from Bergen county to NYP during peak Friday PM traffic (Rutherford: home)

[mysticgem19]

Hi all,
I will be relocating to NJ from RI this month.
I hope to travel back home to RI on some Fridays.
I will be working/living in Bergen county (WoodCliff lake/Rutherford).

Knowing that driving into the city on Friday evening would be horrendous,
what would be the fastest way to reach NYP station.

I can leave work by 4:30pm. I need to take either the 7pm/7:30pm train (Amtrak to RI).

Is driving to EWR better and then connecting to NYP
(or)
taking the train all the way from Bergen county (woodcliff/rutherford) into Seacausus and then NYP??

Your inputs are greatly appreciated!

Thanks all.

I need to go to NYP station to catch the 7/7:30pm train on Fridays.
I will be in Bergen county.

So what is the best way to get there if I leave work by 4:30pm?
Drive until EWR and then transfer to NYP/ Take the train directly from Bergen county?

if u are going to be in rutherford- that would be the easier choice. i think it is just one stop to secaucas junction where you would tranfer to ny penn. it should take about a half hour total. if you are going from woodcliff lake- it will take significantly longer.
