ML111 Posted February 23, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 23, 2009 Since we had the "NY-AC" discussion thread, I thought it might be interesting to add one for service from Philly to AC. Below are the different ways and modes I know of on how to get from Philly to AC, which way do you think is best and why? Also, if you know of another way on how to get between the two cities, feel free to put them up here, I'm always up for a new option: NJ TRANSIT RAIL Atlantic City Line: 30th Street Station to AC (approx trip time = 1:25-1:45 min, fare = $16 RT) PATCO to LINDENWOLD, NJT BUS #554 or NJT RAIL AC LINE Center City PATCO stations via SJ to Lindenwold, then transfer to NJT #554 (2 hours to AC Bus Terminal) or NJT AC Line (appox. 1 hr to AC term) (approx. trip time combined = 1:35hr via NJT Rail not including wait time, 2:30hr via NJT #554 - fare varies depending on mode) CASINO LINE-RUN BUS SERVICE: CENTER CITY Greyhound (10th & Filbert): 1:30hr, $19 Round Trip, departures from 8:30AM-11:30PM most trips operate via Broad/Snyder and originate from Broad/Olney Sheppard (19th & JFK and Broad Street P/U): approx. 1:30-2hr, 4 daily departures, approx $20 Other line run operators such as Lion Trailways, David Thomas Tours and Kraph's serve areas in the Greater Philadelphia Area as day-trip line runs. NJ TRANSIT BUS #551 Greyhound Terminal (10th & Filbert) to AC Bus Terminal via AC Expwy Stops in Camden and Sicklerville Trip Time = 1:30-1:40hr ($13.25 one way, $15 RT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted February 23, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 23, 2009 Take the 551. Greyhound philly ac runs are stupid crowded on any given days. The 551 is quick and has good headways. The 554 is ok but headways arent great. Ac rail sucks and it takes forever. The 551 will get you there in no time.

VinnyBrooklyn Posted February 23, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 23, 2009 I always like taking the train from Philly although once you get to AC you have to hop a jitney to get to the casinos Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted February 23, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 23, 2009 The thread i made is for excursion trip not just general info. It isn't that far of a walk to the boardwalk from the train station. - A Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/525.27.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.2.1 Safari/525.27.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTbuscleaner55 Posted February 27, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 27, 2009 I like the 551..... The AC rail line's cars aren't too elaborate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
