Has anyone done the reverse commute from Manhattan to central NJ? Is it doable?

You’re going the opposite direction vs the majority of commuters whether you’re driving or taking mass transit. Should be easy both ways for the most part during rush hours.

Yes

Much easier than the commute into Manhattan.

And for reference, I do the commute into the city and it’s actually annoying af and congested af

It’s easy

I do this commute and it’s not so bad in the mornings... however, evening commutes can get bad - eg, double the morning commute.

Fine in the morning. Evenings 1.5x longer on average. Also depends on which crossing you take home. I live on UWS so I can do Lincoln or GWB...Tappen Zee every now and Armageddon again...it will happen.
