My kids were born in that area.

There is a bus line that takes you from the Calhoun Street Bridge location (the heart of urban Trenton blight) to downtown Princeton's Witherspoon Street and then to PMC. The placement of Princeton and the NJTPK's exit 7A, 8 & 9 and the roadways getting there have no relationship to anything. You either drive up Route 1 to New Brunswick's Exit 9 when going north. You drive through Pennington and the Windsors to get to Highttown's Exit 8A or you hop on I-295 South and either get on Exit 7-A to go south or you just stay on 295.
