Worked in Trenton till 2006 and had to go to Newark for job many times. Tell son NEVER STAY AFTER WORK hours done. empties out fast. When I went to Newark had to walk from train station up Raymond Blvd had police on every corner during rush hour.
Train is very convenient and can get anywhere along line take a look at NJ transit website for stations. From outside Trenton, Hamilton station was about 1 hour.
We have a place outside Atlantic City. Can get there couple of ways. during summer Casinos run a train from NYC with stop in Newark to Atlantic City during week ends. Fare sometimes as cheap as $29.00. Or could take local NJ transit river line to camden then PATCO high speedline to Lindenwold(end of line) and pick up train to AC from there.
or take train into philadelphia 30th street station and then get on atlantic city rail line. Eitgher train to AC leaves you out at the convention center in Atlantic City.
anyother questions just ask and if know answer will help.
Congradulations on his getting a job as they are still hard to come by.
