I do in fact understand that I could get to the beach a bit faster using public transportation towards Atlantic City instead of what I did but I had done that once before during spring break and I personally found Atlantic City to be very creepy. It’s not that it’s a city and that I feel unsafe in anywhere that is a city, I just found Atlantic City in particular to just feel very sketchy / dicey even though I usually love the big city. Perhaps it is a lot busier when it is summer but when I went in spring break, there was just nobody there and a bunch of neighborhoods looked pretty dystopian, which made the place feel like a ghost town. This is very different from the more vibrant city cores of other bigger cities that I have been to. Because of that, I decided to explore Cape May instead, and it felt much more vibrant and safer than AC.

@@TransitingExTexan2003 You are correct in that Atlantic City is still a city that is somewhat dangerous. In the non summer months there are few tourists so the town is kind of dead except in the casinos. However in the summer AC has a lively boardwalk with many people walking along it even at night. They also have Steel Pier with amusements operating daily in the summer months and plenty of boardwalk shops. I have visited Cape May many times and it does have a more laid back vibe as well as a more year round population with most of the area well kept and safe.

@@BrianHornak I started at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia and ended up in Cape May using the route 316 bus.

@@TransitingExTexan2003 sweet..how was the ride?

@@BrianHornakI thought it was pretty fun. It is not every day I get to take mass transit to the beach.

Yes, I would be happy to give you some idea of what to expect and when I recommend traveling on this particular train line. In my personal experience, the cost of a ticket on the Acela train varies greatly depending on how early you buy your ticket. In my experience, buying a ticket a few months in advance costed somewhere in the range of 100 to 150 bucks whereas buying it at the last second yielded a cost of about 200 to 300 bucks. If this is too expensive, Amtrak has plenty of other trains for you to take that are less expensive than this one, but are slower and make more stops. If you are thinking of doing this, I recommend buying a ticket well in advance and doing it at a time other than summer because summer in my experience is rough for every mode of transportation I have ridden on. This particular film was shot during spring break if you didn’t see that in my description. The train in theory can go at 150 miles an hour, but can only do so in certain sections of the line because of how old the infrastructure on the northeast corridor is. I don’t know exactly how fast we were going since I didn’t track it on the train, so I recommend seeing the film starting at 6:39 so you could compare it to the cars on the highway. While this film doesn’t cover the section from Washington to Philly, I have been on that particular section so I can tell you what it was like. In my opinion, it’s not the best scenery that this line has to offer since you will be going through and stopping in Baltimore, which has some rough neighborhoods. The scenery north of New York City on the other hand, is much better. Moynihan Train Hall is a pretty new and nice looking station, but it is extremely crowded and can sometimes feel like an airport as opposed to a train station because of how busy it is. I hope that this helped you get an idea on what to anticipate.

Jeremy Horwitz Correct.

Vanool35 some kind of construction or maintenance was going on after the airport. I would have to catch a blue line train to get downtown.

Fd Hades yep I did! :)
