Learn moreThe PATCO Speedline: direct Philadelphia rail access
Camden hosts real, direct PATCO Speedline stations (City Hall, Broadway, Ferry Avenue) offering fast, direct rail access into Center City Philadelphia -- an asset most South Jersey suburbs, including neighboring Cherry Hill, don't have within their own borders to the same degree.
The RiverLINE light rail
The NJ Transit RiverLINE also serves Camden, connecting the city north along the Delaware River corridor toward Trenton -- a second real, distinct transit asset.
The Benjamin Franklin Bridge
The Benjamin Franklin Bridge provides a direct, walkable/bikeable, and drivable connection to Philadelphia, a genuine, practical cross-river link.
