The train station itself is pretty small and parking is a complete pain during commuter hours, and it's the main reason for my low rating... I ended up parking here Friday night because it was located near the restaurant where I was meeting friends, and I couldn't find any parking elsewhere. It was past commuter hours so there was plenty of parking. Unfortunately I did not have any quarters to feed the meter (24 hour paid parking cruel!) but I noticed there was a QR code on the meter. Well, if you don't have quarters, good luck. The QR code was for a parking app, and I've used parking apps in the past... this is the worst one. It kept running very slow and needed a lot of input right away. Not only was I late to meet friends because of this, but this parking lot is very dark at night. I don't care if I'm in the lowest crime rated city in America, being in a relatively deserted parking lot when it's dark out, by yourself, trying to get something on my phone to work- definitely made me feel vulnerable and unsafe. They should really get the parking machines that towns like Westfield have, where you input the parking space number and pay, it generates a ticket and you're good to go. The app was not convenient at all, and if it's not convenient for the customer, then it's for sure a money grab. I believe the app is designed to eliminate people being able to use the extra time the meter has on it from the previous person. 2/5

If you live in the Doylestown area, the Septa Station in Doylestown is incredibly convenient to…read moreyou, but not so much to the major destinations to which you are heading. Parking: When you first pull in you'll think there are way too few parking spots. Don't be fooled. There are two lots: one that hosts the station itself and another on the opposite side of where the trains pull in. This second lot is much bigger. Parking is one dollar. They have digital devices that allow you to pay by credit card and just enter the number corresponding to your parking space. On the day I was here those machines were not working. Bring quarters just in case. They have an old fashioned wall of coin slots labeled by lot number. Distance: Doylestown isn't close to anything, and express trains are in shockingly short supply. Expect a trip just shy of two hours to get to 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. And most morning trains during the week will be crowded mid-way along the route. If you're looking for a shorter trip and maybe more express options, head for the Lansdale Station. Food: The Station Tap House is adjacent to the Septa Train Station. Kitchen quality varies: it's either very good bar food/sandwiches/appetizers or not so great. Huge beer selection and well-stocked bar options. Service is almost always very good. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Bonus: The Trans-Bridge Bus Stop is on the street next to the second, larger Septa Parking Lot. Rather than taking the train 1:45 minutes to 30th Street then switching trains to NYC, you can take the Trans-Bridge bus (think senior casino trip bus, but with Wi-Fi) to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC near Times Square. Very convenient, comfortable and you're driven to Manhattan in just shy of 3 hours.

One of the main means to commute to the heart of Princeton, located at the southern edge of the…read moreuniversity, whereas long ago, it was located close to the entrance of Princeton (near current day Blair Hall of Princeton U), and then relocated to another stop meters south until 2013, which became The Dinky Bar & Kitchen almost a year ago, making this the third iteration, being a part of the current modernization of the university (bigger buildings, more parking). Nowadays, there's plenty of features that can make this station worthwhile to depart and leave from, including a nearby bus/shuttle/taxi stop, Wawa (which to be short, is as shiny as a diamond, even for Princeton U), bike racks, and most of Princeton U to explore, or attend. If commuting by rail, this station is the only way in/out of Princeton, offering a brief 5 minute ride on the historic "Dinky" route, shuttling passengers in/out of Princeton to Princeton Junction (or West Windsor) in a 5 minute ride, from then, you can connect with other routes on the NEC (as south as Trenton, or as north as Newark/New York), and Amtrak's routes. Ticket prices, it's 3$ to go to/from this station to/from Princeton Junction, and to the bewilderment of first timers, it's a separate trip, where the conductors are mostly lenient on making them buy a ticket on the train (3+5$ = 8$), and hypothetically, it'll be: 6.75$ for a Princeton-Trenton ride, 17.75$ for Princeton-New York Penn, or 19$ from Princeton-Newark Liberty Int'l Airport, all one way, but two tickets. In terms of amenities, there's a train shelter/waiting rooms almost immediately near the tracks that are pleasant in winter, open air seating/tables outside, great for summer, 4 NJ Transit TVMs, a Wawa, which in my opinion is leagues better vs the store in Princeton Junction's station, and a bathroom in Wawa. Fortunately, the rooms are open as long as the station is, in contrast to PCJ. The buses outside will offer connections to the rest of Princeton, and nearby communities, such as Montgomery, Lawrence, and more, as well as inside the university, and there's rarely taxis outside. Timing, it can range from an hour, 10 minutes to 90 minutes (70-90) to ride to/from this station to/from NY Penn, 25 minutes to/from Trenton, and 5 minutes to Princeton. Fortunately the "Dinky" arrives in sync most of the time when the (NJT) trains roll in, giving you 2-5 minutes to react and head out, same can be said for the opposite, while giving you ample time to park, purchase tickets, and more. Now for my cons, it's a bit upsetting to have to walk all the way from one end of the university to Nassau Hall to get into Princeton proper, but it's a good way to see the sights and be at peace! In cases of severe storms and/or snow, the line may be disrupted, giving commuters the option of switching to buses. It's an annoyance since the trip may take longer and may not be in tune with PCJ's timing, but at least they honor bus/rail tickets. It's a good station, and with plenty of conveniences, ample time to explore Princeton U, good restaurants/Wawa, and the chance to bike, you're in good hands here. Almost never felt like I was "unsafe here", but I'm sure Princeton U's police give a fair inspection every time. Until next time!
