My comment may have been misinterpreted, though you didn't include the piece I was replying to that said: "On most days would be faster than train with all its stops, detour loop through N Philly and then 30th Street station.".

My point was that NJT doesn't serve any PA stations *EXCEPT* Philadelphia 30th Street. NJT runs it from that station *ONLY* to AC, and yes it's about 90 minutes making numerous local stops along the way in South Jersey. As it gets into NJ, many of the riders are casino employees who definitely save money on gas, tolls and wear and tear from driving this trip every day. But for the occasional AC visitor, it's far from any kind of express/high speed route.

In the context of this thread, it's a longer, more cumbersome route for someone to get from PHL airport to Philly 30th Street station on SEPTA and then shlep from the upper to lower platforms to get the NJT train. Certainly more than 90 minutes when all said and done.
