The Commute
As skeptical as I still am on this project happening in Philly, something dawned on me regarding the argument made for commute time to Cira for the current Plainsboro employee-base. The assumption is that a move to Philly could possibly lead to a massive loss in personnel. However the time disparity between the two commutes may not be as great as it seems.
Probably the next most logical choice for BlackRock after Philly is New Brunswick. Although I'm sure current BR employees fear a commute to Philly, it may not be THAT much worse than commuting to New Brunswick. Outside of the NJ Turnpike, Rt 1 is the primary artery for north-south travel in that part of Jersey. The morning rush-hour commute on Rt 1 is absolutely dreadful and intensifies as it approaches NB. Then of course once in New Brunswick, commuters extend their commute via a crawl throughout the city to find a parking space or garage.
Commuting to the Hamilton NJ Transit station, taking a 10 minute rail ride to Trenton then switching to an R7 which stops directly at Cira wouldn't be all that bad, as compared to trudging up Rt 1.
Any in agreement?
