Getting from NYC to Borgata without a car

[Poseidon65]

Anyone know the best way to do this? I was looking at Greyhound's website, and none of the buses drop off at any hotels near the Borgata.

Subway to Port Authority to AC to Jitney. Easy. Cheap.

Great, much thanks. Any advice on what AC hotel to catch the bus to if Borgata is my final destination?

Trump Marina is the closest to Borgata (Harrah's AC doesn't take buses either), but service from Port Authority to TM is spotty at best.

just go to any casino on the boardwalk and take a jitney. it's a $2 flat rate no matter how far you go.

Greyhound doesnt drop off anywhere in the marina section so just take the first one that leaves to anywhere on the boardwalk, they go every 15 minutes all day everyday from gate 80(?) downstairs across from that horrible meals on wheels place.

When you get to the boardwalk just exit to the street and take the blue #2 bus and you'll be at Borgata in about 15 minutes for $2.

Maybe another question: what's the usual wait at the Borg for 2/5 NL on weekend afternoons?

[Ben FR]

depends on when you get in. Generally speaking, worse case scenario is 45-60minutes. On average the wait is minimal (<15-20minutes)

all: What is the status of the NJ Transit line that was supposed to open this summer to AC?

I thought the train line was announced for the end of the year. Haven't heard anything about it in a while. I really don't think the train is going to make sense for anyone other than comped travelers, since it will be much pricier than the bus and will take just as long (assuming no traffic).

Yeah, the train is a no-hoper as way of cheap transportation. The only advantage it will have over buses is a slightly larger personal room. On any other point the bus will beat it hands down.
