NJ commute planning · visitor-entered comparison
Compare the whole commute—not a town score

Worksheet
Use one repeatable method for every route
Check each route for the actual origin, destination, date, and travel window. Then enter the same components below so the comparison stays consistent.
Your entries
Side-by-side calculation
These totals are arithmetic based on what you entered—not predicted travel times, future costs, or a recommendation.
Enter at least one time or cost for an option to compare it.
| Option | One-way total | Weekly round-trip time | Weekly cost |
|---|
Before deciding
Four checks the worksheet cannot do for you
Count every leg
Include the trip to the first stop, waiting, transfers, the scheduled ride, the final leg, and a buffer that reflects your needs.
Verify current costs
Check current fares, tolls, parking terms, and connecting-service costs. Enter daily round-trip amounts on the same basis for every option.
Test the trip
When practical, make the route during the travel window that matters to you and note what the published itinerary did not capture.
