For Brian and Molly, a Rahway couple with two children, the workday starts with school and daycare drop-offs before they board the first of three trains to Manhattan.
In a report shared by Amanda Eustice, the couple describes a daily sequence of NJ Transit, PATH and subway connections. Getting home is just as closely timed: daycare closes at 6 p.m., and a missed connection can disrupt the family’s evening.
The report also explores the compromises that make the routine possible, from coordinating around one car to adjusting work hours. It offers a close look at how commuting affects a household well beyond the time spent on a train.
