I’ve experienced both normal and “reverse” commutes in my life. For me not going into the city itself, the differences were pretty negligible. Almost as many people are going south as they are going north.

That’ll depend on your points of origin and destination. If both locations are very close along the Parkway or Turnpike, that’s a much different drive than if you have to cut laterally across the state just to get to and from the tollroad.

It also depends on traffic. My personal commute can be an hour-ten on a good day, and two hours on a bad day.

I have seen the owner of u/thirstyquaker post here. Maybe he can tell you what he has in stock.
