Anyone know of any carpooling services in the NYC/NJ area? Living in NYC and due to start a majority remote job soon, with a day or two a week in New Brunswick. Looking for a carpool to avoid doing the public transport commute. TIA!

Take Amtrak. 1 hour from penn station to New Brunswick.

Less than an hour. More like 40 mins. NJT is prob an hour.

That's also a reverse commute, I used to work in NB and shouldn't be many people on that train at all in that direction. Probably everyone working at JNJ anyway in NB

Nah NE corridor is packed everyday. People commute everyday along the bosnywash.

Ah ok. I’ve only taken Amtrak.
