trains from nyc to ac

[afish]

Amtrak to Philly is more like $110 round trip. You can take NJT/Septa to Philly, but that will make the trip to AC more like 4-5 hrs.

I have taken the buses from the port authority many times. I just avoid the casinos that make you play the slots.
I really am amazed that no trains go there direct, but thanks for the info.

Showboat gives you $20 cash when you get off the bus, and you don't even have to go thru the casino.

NJ Transit NY Penn to AC (transfers in Trenton and Philly) is $25.75 and takes about 4.5 to 5 hours total.

don't know of trains but I took that AC-NYC bus run into Penn Station and it was seamless - once I found the Bus Depot [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] - I was unable to catch one from my Casino.

Take the bus - it's just a couple hrs and goes by fast -

I was impressed with the NJ/NY transit system and picked up most of up by the time I left NYC.

Hi Tony-

As far as I know, there is no direct service from Penn Station to Atlantic City. However, you can take an Amtrak train to 30th street Philadelphia and take a New Jersey Transit Train (Atlantic City Line) to AC. I think that the Amtrak fare is about $59 and New Jersey Transit is about $7 each way
