It gives all the basics needed for train travel, but could use an update hopefully in the future. Definitely not bad, it handles its purpose well for the most part. The Deets: I spend quite a few weekends in Asbury Park now. Two of main ways to get there besides driving from "the city" is either by ferry or train, and of course the NJ Transit train is both less expensive of the two and gets you right to the center of town. This part brings me to the subject of my review today, the NJ Transit Asbury Park station. Mainly, it does the job and is adequate. Yes, it may be a bit dated (OK quite a bit dated) and not in that old classic nostalgic type of way. But it has a pretty spacious waiting area inside where you can shelter from the cold/heat, a dedicated ticket office, bathrooms, etc. It even has a little snack area available when open, which is a modest simple little corner you can order and get refreshments while you wait on your train. The station seems to have limited hours for accessing the inside on weekends, just a heads up on that one. The AP station is not bad however it definitely could do with a facelift and some TLC, but it handles a customer's needs adequately. Wikipedia offers a good little write up on it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbury_Park_station .

Greyhound is absolutely beyond awful. I started riding it between NYC and Atlantic City in 1990…read more It was pretty good then, especially the NY to AC leg. The AC to NY leg was never very reliable. But service decayed materially over time. They were constantly late to the point that it was almost NEVER on time. I mean EVER. In NY, there's a big ticket office, so you used to be able to go in and ask WTF was going on. Sometimes, they actually knew. In recent years, the line seems to have just about collapsed. You can't call any number to find out the status of your grossly delayed bus and there are very few places where there are humans at your departure location. Call the 800 number? Can't (actually won't) help you. Don't know anything. It's as if they think you are stupid. It's pretty obvious that they know where every one of their buses are just due to GPS technology. If a valuable bus went missing I promise you they'd know exactly where to find it. It's also common sense to know with absolute certainty that every depot from which buses are dispatched have telephones and actual "dispatchers". Forget about that track my bus tech they have on their site. it will NEVER help you find out why your bus is late or when it will arrive from the point of origin. EVER. Finding out where a one hour late bus is should not be a problem AT ALL. There should be a way to make an 800 call to someone who could call a depot and speak to a dispatcher. BUT NO..... And let's not forget about the condition of the buses. Seats frequently broken. Buses typically filthy. Drivers commonly angry and harsh. I've come to conclude that Greyhound views their typical passenger as lower class powerless people who can't do anything to harm them. And with all the degraded service - fewer buses scheduled included - they nearly doubled the price!!!!! I've found using the government run NJ Transit buses far more satisfying. They are clean and not broken. The WiFi actually works, unlike GH which is hit or miss - mostly miss. They are mostly on time and get you there more reliably even with a stop or two. if they are late, you can find out why and when to expect arrival. they are cheaper. They have a senior discount. I suspect this is what happens when elected officials who are answerable to the people run the line. Unless aggravation and being treated as a subhuman is your bag, stay the heck away from GH. It's a wonder they are still in business.

It has good signage and the restrooms are always filthy yet there is always someone there with a cleaning cart. The cleaner is friendly but obviously does not know how to clean. The security guard is always facing away from the door, where their job is to stop non ticketed people from entering. The movement director on the bus area does a great job of keeping things moving and bus departures on time. If you are going to get on a bas that does not have bathrooms the New Jersey Transit bus stations should have clean safe bathrooms! I couldn't hold my breath long enough to take a photo of the restroom. The cleaning person, everyone one of them are nice people but there is no oversight or management.

History is everywhere in Philadelphia and it's a beautiful place and beautiful people who truly welcome EVERYONE! And AMTRAK is just about the best way to get to Philadelphia! A piece of trivia, I used to work with the namesake of this station, and he probably used this station more than just about any other Philadelphian, to get back and forth to Washington, DC. It couldn't be easier to get from Philadelphia to Dc or New York or Boston than to hop on a train and let someone else do the driving!

An update to my initial review:…read more I'm a fan of Amtrak, reliant on their service since I regularly travel between Philadelphia and NYC. The train takes less time than driving and saves us a fair amount of money. (Are you familiar with the price of parking in Manhattan?!) I generally pay the extra $3 to modify my ticket without penalty. Life happens and we've had to make changes more than once. Two weeks ago I realized something astonishing. With a major snowstorm hitting the northeast, I decided last minute to change my ticket from Tuesday to Sunday. I wanted to get back to PA. Posted fares were insane, literally priced more than an airline ticket. I was resigned to staying put in NY. For the fun of it, I checked several times and then .....voila! A fare posted at $219 an hour before, had dropped to $24! Four seats were available. I grabbed one. So my message is twofold: pay the extra couple of dollars for flexibility, AND if you're deterred by expensive tickets on a particular day, keep checking. It can change on a dime!

The waiting area is nice and clean and so are the bathrooms. It's also a nice alternative to getting to New Brunswick and waiting for the train (trips to New York from East Brunswick take approximately 50 minutes). No weekend service here though. For that you have to drive an additional 5 minutes to Tower Center.
