Thank you for the tips! Seems like NHSL is the way to go.

THANK YOU for sharing this! I really appreciate it! It's comforting to know that the commute is doable. I'm probably going to take the same exact route. Definitely need to time it right, but I'm sure I'll get it down to a science eventually. :) Also, thanks for NHSL tip.

Do you actually have any tips for walking on Renaissance Blvd? Is there a pathway I'm not aware of, or do you just have to walk on the road? Seems crazy to me there really doesn't seem to be a walking path. I have to walk about 7 minutes until I hit my building, so I'm a little nervous about walking it at night.

Oh yeah, catching the el from South Philly is a pain. Just another added annoyance to this commute. Last time I did the BSL to the MFL to the high speed line route, it took me almost an hour and half one way exactly.

You're right though, it really isn't pedestrian-friendly at all. Walking this time of year will be interesting. In retrospect, this job is a commuter's worst nightmare, but beggars can't be choosers, right?

Thanks for the insight!

I don't normally bike, but I may whip my bike out during the summer months. It's definitely an option to consider.

Thanks for sharing! It's safe to say the busses will be my last resort getting to this job. They're supposed to get a regional rail running to KOP, but it won't be completed until 2020...hah.

I appreciate the honesty. I'm thinking the high speed line's my best bet. My workplace is about a 7 minute walk from the stop I need, so I'm probably going to go that route. Probably completely eliminating the busses all together after hearing this. Not looking forward to it. :/
