Trenton has some of the best rail connections of any city on the east coast. NJ Transit (NYC and Newark), Amtrak (Boston-Washington), and SEPTA (Philly) all serve the newly renovated train station.
NJ Transit's service to NYC is superb. There are over 50 trains in each direction on a typical weekday. The earliest train to NYC leaves before 4 AM, and the last train back to Trenton is 1:41 AM. Express trains take just over an hour.
There is also rail service direct to both Newark Liberty Airport and Philadelphia International Airport. The River Line, a light rail service, connects Trenton to Camden via a series of charming towns along the Delaware. In Camden, you can change to the PATCO high speed line, for convenient and inexpensive access to Old City Philly, in about 1:15. |
Trenton is well served by roads, easily connecting via US-1 and SR-29/129 to Interstates 95, 195, and 295, the New Jersey Turnpike, and the Garden State Parkway.
Some of the loveliest white sand beaches in NJ are less than 45 minutes away via a road(I-195) that is rarely crowded, even on a hot weekend. Old City Philly is 35 minutes by car. The theatre district of NYC, if you hit traffic right, is only 1:15. Baltimore is about 2.5 hours, and Washington about 3.5.
Newark Liberty Airport is reliably less than an hour away, even during rush hour. Philadelphia International Airport is about 45 minutes during off peak times, and a little over an hour at rush hour, via I-95. |
