Time and cost are literally the only factors concerning feasibility here.

You know the answer and are hoping someone will say it is feasible to shake your doubt. It’s honestly the stupidest thing to commute 4hr per day. No sane person would do this unless they are desperate. Better be some good salary.

76 fucking sucks from center city all the way past KOP. This isn’t gonna be feasible for you, sorry. I commuted 85 miles each way to work for 18 months and it was wide open highway between southern NY and Williamsport. I barely made it happen then. You can’t fight traffic for 45 minutes then get on a toll road and drive another hour and 15 (if you go quick) to Harrisburg. 1000 miles a week divided by whatever mpg your car gets. It’s been years since I’ve taken the turnpike between Harrisburg East and KOP but the toll has gotta be at least $15 one way. You might be better off just finding a cheap place in Harrisburg and commuting back to Philly on the weekends?

Oh ok, I don’t know how I missed that. I still don’t think it’s gonna work out. That a long ass commute to do every day and are those trains even at convenient times for getting to/ from work?

Yeah fuck that. I wont commute more than 30-45mins depending on how much the job pays. Like would have to be over $100k for 45 mins
