When it comes to getting you where you want to go, New Jersey is one of the best states to visit. New Jersey transit boasts the nation’s largest statewide public transit system which uses bus, rail, and light rail systems to circulate commuters and tourists alike. For this reason, many visitors to New York City save money by flying into Newark, NJ, and using the New Jersey Transit system to ride a train right to NYC’s Penn Station. But don’t be mistaken, New Jersey trains can take you anywhere you need to go within the Garden State itself, including popular locations like Atlantic City, Ocean City, and Hoboken. If these are your locations of choice, it will be the most economic and convenient option to use New Jersey trains during your visit. If you plan to take a bed and breakfast tour through quaint towns or explore the Revolutionary War history of New Jersey, a car rental in New Jersey will be your best bet.


New Jersey Transit is the name of the organization that operates all of New Jersey’s public transportation systems, and a visit to their website prior to your New Jersey vacation is advisable in order to take full advantage of the services they offer. New Yorkers will be pleased to learn that New Jersey Transit is in the middle of constructing a speedy 2.5 hour service for New Jersey Trains from New York City to Atlantic City, making an escape to the Jersey shore destination more convenient than ever. Not surprisingly, much of this service’s funding is coming from New Jersey resorts and casinos found in Atlantic City. You will find the public transportation system and the New Jersey trains you ride to be quite efficient, clean, and well-maintained, making your trip to New Jersey that much easier for you and your family.
