TRENTON, N.J. — The light-rail service from Trenton to Camden is becoming more popular with age.
Year-to-date ridership is up 24 percent over the same period last year, said Dan Stessel, a spokesman for New Jersey Transit, which operates the River Line.
Transit officials attribute the line’s increasing popularity to growing awareness of the service and to the high cost of gasoline. Trains run every 15 minutes during peak hours.
The River Line costs $1.25 for an adult’s one-way ticket.
