Transportation

Atlantic City is connected to other cities in several ways. New Jersey Transit's Atlantic City Line runs from Philadelphia and several smaller southern New Jersey towns directly to the Atlantic City Rail Terminal at the Atlantic City Convention Center. The Atlantic City Bus Terminal is the home to local, intra-state and interstate bus companies including New Jersey Transit and Greyhound bus lines. Access to Atlantic City by car is also easy via the 44 mile Atlantic City Expressway, US 30, commonly known as the White Horse Pike, and US 40/322, commonly known as the Black Horse Pike. In Atlantic City there is an abundance of taxi cabs and a local Jitney service providing continuous service to and from the casinos and the rest of the city.

Commercial airlines serve Atlantic City via Atlantic City International Airport, located 9 miles northwest of the city in Egg Harbor Township. Many travellers also choose to fly into Philadelphia International Airport or Newark Liberty International Airport, where there are wider selections of carriers to choose from. The historic downtown Bader Field airport, now used only by private pilots, is scheduled to be closed later in 2006.
