NJ Transit Launches Vineland-Atlantic City Shuttle Boosting Casino Worker Access

New Jersey Transit has launched an express shuttle service between Vineland and Atlantic City to improve job access for casino workers and residents of South Jersey. The shuttle offers two daily round trips aligned with casino shift changes, with a one-hour travel time each way and a 45-minute layover in Atlantic City to accommodate shift transitions. The service costs $6 per trip, with half-price fares for seniors, disabled passengers, and low-income riders, and accepts NJ Transit monthly 8-zone bus passes. This initiative, supported by bipartisan cooperation and inspired by state Senator Mike Testa, addresses a long-standing transit gap in South Jersey and aims to provide a reliable, affordable option for workers who previously faced difficult commutes. NJ Transit CEO Kris Kolluri and Transportation Commissioner Fran O’Connor praised the shuttle as a pilot program with potential for expansion if successful. Governor Phil Murphy's broader plan to enhance South Jersey transit includes this shuttle as a key component to boost regional mobility and economic opportunity.
