I commute to Summit from Queens, NY. Takes about 2.5 hrs. Travelibg to Rahway from where I live would take about the same time

Not specifically merck or Rahway, but i have plenty of coworkers who commute from the city to the princeton/Lawrenceville area. It's definitely doable, but they their schedule is often dictated by the train/shuttle schedules

My coworker drives from NYC midtown east which takes anywhere from a little over an hour to over two to Rahway. They don’t go in 3 times a week due to this but once a week is doable. Parking on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 8:50am is hard to find
