What's the commute like from South Jersey to Philadelphia?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Commuting from South Jersey to Philadelphia is manageable for most residents. By car, the drive from Burlington County to Center City takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on your starting point and traffic. The PATCO High-Speed Line connects towns like Collingswood, Haddonfield, and Cherry Hill directly to Philadelphia in about 20 to 30 minutes. NJ Transit also provides bus and train service. Rush hour traffic on the Ben Franklin and Walt Whitman bridges can add 15 to 30 minutes.

Why It Matters

Your daily commute affects your budget, family time, and quality of life. Knowing your options helps you choose the right town and transportation method.
