VINELAND COMMUTER EXPRESS

YEAR-ROUND SERVICE - CONNECTING VINELAND TRANSPORTATION CENTER (VTC) AND ATLANTIC CITY BUS TERMINAL (ACBT).
TWO DAILY TRIPS IN EACH DIRECTION.
NJ TRANSIT & AC JITNEY CONNECTIONS AT ACBT FOR SERVICE TO CASINOS.
Launched on October 1, 2025, the pilot features two express roundtrips each weekday, providing direct service between the Vineland Transportation Center and the Atlantic City Bus Terminal. The new express shuttle bus pilot is the first of three major initiatives announced by Governor Murphy to expand and modernize public transportation options in South Jersey. This new service connects residents from Cumberland County to employment opportunities in Atlantic City, while also reducing congestion and improving regional mobility.
The service will run a single bus on a split-shift schedule designed to align with local employer shift times. Departures from the Vineland Transportation Center are scheduled for 5:35 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., heading to the Atlantic City Bus Terminal. After a 45-minute layover, to accommodate employee shift changes, the return trips will depart the Atlantic City Bus Terminal at 7:45 a.m. and 3:45 p.m., arriving back at Vineland Transportation Center at 8:50 a.m. and 4:50 p.m., respectively.
