    Default Any public transportation to West Point, Merck?

    Hi there, anyone know if there is public transportation that could get someone to the Merck in West Point. Someone I know might relocate for a job there but does NOT have a car so would need to take public transit.

    Thank you!!!

    It depends where they are coming from, but the 94 bus goes close and the Lansdale train goes somewhat close.. Merck may offer a shuttle to/from the train station.

    There is a feature in google directions that allows you to chose public transit. I don't know how accurate it is but it might be worth a shot.

    The 94 bus will get you to the corner of West Point and Sumneytown Pikes. The North Wales train station is about a mile south of the main entrance, and there's sidewalk (almost?) the whole way up.

    Merck also has an office building close to Beaver Avenue in North Wales. This building has optimal public transit access, being about a 10-15 minute walk to/from the train station.

    Oy, guess I need to type in caps...


    There is a Septa bus stop for the Route 94 Bus from Pennbrook Station on R5/Lansdale/Doylestown
    located at the southeast corner of the Merck Parking lot on West Point Pike.

    Google Maps

    Heading back, that same stop connects you to the Route 94 Bus to Ambler Station on R5/Lansdale/Doylestown
