NEW YORK — Express train service between New York City and Atlantic starts this morning with the debut of the Atlantic City Express Service.
It’s a $25 million effort backed by three casinos, as well as the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority.
The first train leaves Atlantic City at 10 this morning bound for New York’s Penn Station. The return trip departs Manhattan at 2:30 p.m., with one stop in Newark before arriving in Atlantic City.
The service will operate on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $50 one way for regular seats, and $75 for first class.
