Short Answer
The average commute time from Moorestown to Center City Philadelphia is about 25 to 35 minutes by car and 35 to 45 minutes by train via the PATCO High-Speed Line. Driving gives you flexibility, while the train allows you to avoid traffic and work during your commute. The commute time varies based on the time of day and route, with rush hour typically adding 10 to 15 minutes.
Moorestown is one of the most popular commuter towns in South Jersey because of its convenient access to Philadelphia. By car, the drive to Center City is about 20 to 25 miles via Route 38 and I-295 to the Ben Franklin Bridge. During off-peak hours, the drive takes about 25 minutes. During rush hour, expect 35 to 45 minutes. The PATCO High-Speed Line is accessible from the Ferry Avenue station in Camden, about a 10-minute drive from most Moorestown neighborhoods, or from the Woodcrest station in Cherry Hill, about a 10-minute drive. The train ride from Woodcrest to 8th and Market in Center City takes about 20 minutes, so the total door-to-door commute is about 35 to 45 minutes. PATCO runs frequently during rush hour, and you can use the time to read, work, or relax. For commuters to other parts of Philadelphia or the suburbs, driving may be more convenient. The affordability of Moorestown homes relative to comparable Philadelphia suburbs makes the commute worthwhile for many professionals.
