look about half way down the page.
i thought amtrak runs commuter trains between nyc and philly. i know my friend's dad used to commute daily from cherry hill (southern jersey) to manhattan everyday (4-hour commute, one-way! :O ). not sure how much that costs but i'd assume they get discounts for high-volume use.
one of my managers used to commute, now and then when she didn't have a car, from near cherry hill to philly and then to newark (my office is in kearny). about a three hour commute, one-way. i can't imagine she spent $80~$90/daily for that though. she telecommutes so i can't grab her to ask, sorry. i'll send her an email for you and see what/how she does it.
you should be able to take the station (right by you) to newark-penn station and then transfer to nj transit to trenton (transfer again to philly) or atlantic city (then transfer to the ac line). it should be cheaper (50%) than a direct amtrak ($60~$90 depending on schedule).

it's a bit convoluted but it'll get you there if you tie all three together. hth
frog's link is very good. probably easier than all the other commuter "tricks".

I cant believe I didnt think of the chinatown bus!! derr...
oh... hahahaha ok, that makes sense....
:rotfl:
Well im headin to Philly on Sunday... so umm... yea... Jayda... can I touch your special place when im there? *blush*
yeah, when you drive, you forget the little stuff like that.
In addition to the Chinatown Bus, which can be a bit shady and spotty with their schedule IMHO, Greyhound/Peter Pan both have an online special from NYC to Philly. It's 24 bucks roundtrip and you leave/arrive from the Port Authority Terminal by Times Square. Takes about 2 hours, they usually play some crappy movie. I go to NYC this way often, no tolls, no gas, no 50 bucks to park for 4 minutes in Manhattan. In Philly it would drop you at 10th and Filbert right behind the Gallery.

Oh, it's 12 one way, 20 r/t. Spiffy.
Oh, Jayda, could you show me on this doll where exactly Cally touched you?
^^ hahahaha
