Wouldn't this happen as they are flying around anyway? I've only seen them do this at our farm in the morning after they roosted for the night on our fences before they take off.

280 West at the 287 exit where Route 46 West is also merging into the same lane. Totally ridiculous to even have that ramp from 46 when you can just go another half mile up 46 and get on 80/287 at N. Beverwyck Rd.

Might help if you put at least a budget when asking for opinions. Any other important factors? Do you have children and want to know about schools? What would be too long of a commute for you?

IDK why you are getting downvotes on this. Look I want to support public transit but for family trips taking NJ Transit train all the way makes no sense.

That said I will try to avoid driving into Manhattan if I can. My go to is to park at Secaucus junction, I think that's usually about 25 bucks. Then to just take the train from Secaucus is only a couple bucks each. So even with gas the Turnpike toll its significantly cheaper and faster then taking the train from our local station.

Even our relatives who live by stations that are only a few stops from Penn it usually faster and cheaper then just 2 train tickets.
