-- greyhound bus

Are there any other train options that might be less expensive than the $100 on amtrak? Is there a NJT/Septa combo?

Thanks!
There is a NJT/SEPTA alternative. With the septa service yoru have to pray that your trains are on time as you have to make a connection in Trenton and the trains do not always wait for each other.

When are you traveling. If you are traveling not on a sunday afternoon I would recommend the greyhound option. $20 rt, if purchased online. The tickets can also be used for any bus, so you are not married to the bus time on your ticket.
