Commuting to Wilmington, DE from Philly

Post by Anonymous User » Tue Jul 03, 2018 4:53 pm

Hi all, does anyone make this commute daily for work at Morgan Lewis? If so, how long is it and is it manageable?

Thanks!

I make this commute daily, but not with Morgan Lewis. It really depends on when you're on the road. At peak rush hour times, I've had the commute take over an hour; whereas if I leave before the morning commute and drive back after the evening commute, it can take 35 minutes or less. For what it's worth, I'll probably end up moving to Wilmington.

Thanks so much for the info. I'm curious, have you ever tried this commute via train? Or is it not an option?

I know someone who did the reverse commute, living in Wilmington working in Philly, and he said it was long, but totally doable and easy.

Commute via train is an option, but it's not something I've ever done. I guess it would widely depend on where you work in Wilmington and where you live in Philly. I don't live somewhere in Philly that's close to a train station so it would be a hassle.

If you plan on driving to Wilmington, make sure you find a parking garage you like ahead of time and get put on a waiting list for a monthly pass. The monthly passes will save you a lot of money but it's usually several months on a waiting list before one becomes available.
