ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Commuters here are fighting NJ Transit’s decision to cut one early morning train to Philadelphia.
Passengers said getting rid of Train 4610 on the Atlantic City line would hinder their ride to work. The train leaves here each weekday at 5:49 a.m., and arrives at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station at 7:24 a.m.
NJ Transit said it’s shifting schedules and making some cuts to match demand. But spokeswoman Penny Basset-Hackett said the agency does not have ridership details for the 4610 train.
Service will end Friday unless a quick change is made to NJ Transit’s plans.
