<p>Other than by car or taxi, what is the quickest way to Philly from Princeton? I heard that it takes only an hour, but when I was checking train routes it quoted about 2.5 hours.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Take NJ Transit from Princeton to Trenton. Then get on the SEPTA R7 which will take you to 30th St. Station in Philadelphia. It usually takes between an hour and a half and an hour and 45 minutes. Round trip off peak costs $24.25. If you’re really in a hurry you could get on an Amtrak train once you get to Trenton, but this is pretty expensive.</p>
<p>aight! Thanks man</p>
<p>take Amtrak from Princeton Junction to Philadelphia. Cost is $24 one-way and takes 40 minutes.</p>
<p>Yeah sorry I forgot you can get on Amtrak at Princeton Junction. I wish Amtrak weren’t so expensive because I have to go to Philly fairly often.</p>
<p>if you can drive (ie sophomore year), it is much faster, ~40 minutes-45 minutes. All of the train transfers add up! Also, not many amtrak trains stop in princeton junction, only like 1 or 2 a day. If you ever need to catch amtrak for another reason (D.C.?) your best bet is to take njtransit to trenton and get amtrak there.</p>
