I'm gonna disagree with this a bit. There's rarely much traffic until you hit within 5 miles of the city going in. Coming out, it can be a nightmare along 95 at any point. Typically, there will be stop-and-go traffic for a bit, then you're going, then there's another slowdown. My morning commute was typically before the rush, and that rarely took 30 minutes to around Penn Station. Coming back was 40 minutes minimum, and sometimes up to an hour. It may be better post-COVID.
