There is a discussion of a new light rail line in Southern NJ. If it went to Vineland, would you consider living in Center City? It would run from Millville, stopping at the Cumberland Mall, Glassboro, Rowan, Woodbury, and terminate in Camden (there would be other stops in between). From Camden one can transfer to the Patco Speedline and the River LINE.

I already live in Millville but that would be interesting to have a light rail what about having it run through Atlantic city? i don't like driving much i wouldn't mind having it. Only problem i see is Nj Transit losing business to it. No i wouldn't live in Vineland i hate it there.

Only if it was going somewhere inconvenient to get to by car. In other words, if the light rail stopped at a place where it was easy to get to in my own car anyway, I'd much rather just take my own vehicle, listen to the radio, travel on my own schedule.

The main reason people use public transportation is to avoid sitting in traffic. Since there is no traffic in or anywhere near Vineland, I can't see why they would build a light rail there.

Well I'm still waiting for that Hudson-Bergen Light Rail to actually involve Bergen County, so...yeah, I'll see how that goes.

It is possible for it to run to A.C. from Vineland. As for you living in Vineland, of course you wouldn't your a millbilly (I mean that in jest of course, being from Vineland I'd never move to Millville, BTW congrats on winning the football game this year)

It would most likely be run by NJ transit, so I don't see them losing business to it.

As for traffic, the traffic avoided would be the traffic near the bridges into Philly. Plus, it might help the downtown a little.
