Trenton Transit Center, formerly known as Trenton Rail Station, is the main passenger train station in Trenton, New Jersey. It is the southernmost stop in New Jersey on the Northeast Corridor. It serves as the terminus for New Jersey Transit trains to and from New York City and SEPTA R7 Regional Rail Line trains to and from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and as an intermediate station for Amtrak trains traveling between the two cities along the Northeast Corridor.

In the 2006 fiscal year, the station was the 22nd busiest station in Amtrak's nationwide system, with 217,747 departures from the station and 218,311 arrivals to Trenton, for a total ridership of 436,058.^[2]

The River Line light rail, which offers service to Camden along the Delaware River, is across the street.

Bus service to the station consists of local New Jersey Transit routes, including Capital Connection buses, serving the New Jersey Capitol Complex, and regional service to Philadelphia via Camden. In addition, the station serves as the northern terminus for SEPTA buses to Neshaminy Mall. Greyhound Bus service to the station was previously available but has been discontinued.

[edit] Facilities

Trenton Transit Center has one level with ticket offices, ticket machines, and two snack kiosks. From that level, there are steps leading down to the two train island platforms. The northbound island platform (Tracks 1 & 2) also has a newsstand/snack kiosk.

A $56.6 million renovation is currently underway, which will include an addition of a mezzanine level providing additional office and retail space. New lighting, air-conditioning, information displays, escalators, and elevators will also be installed. Construction is anticipated to last two years.
