Reply to comment by rpm319 in TIL all 8 of the most densely populated towns in the US (and 9 of the top 10) are either in New Jersey or New York by snakkerdudaniel

I commute from Bergen to Jersey city for work. 16 miles takes over an hour some days.

Dang… where I live, miles and minutes are an interchangeable term.

Except in the midwest minutes are 10-15% lower than miles.

If only there was some better way to move from point A to point B, by combining multiple cars all into a single unit, with passengers sharing the same cabs. Hmmm. One can only dream.

Guess you haven’t heard of NJTransit? New Jersey can have all the trains we want and still have chronic traffic issues because of local traffic.

went to high school in Bergen county(don bosco) but traffic isn't much better in smaller cities...

living in Milwaukee for the last couple decades, my current commute is 19 miles and takes between an hour and an hour and fifteen minutes each way. if I did the same drive outside of rush hour? ~25 minutes.

for a city of 500k people. christ, a good portion of my commute is eight lanes wide.

I used to think traffic was bad in NJ, and then I had a job in Atalanta. Much worse.
