It offers an express train that is slightly faster; however, the cost of a ticket >$27 is greater than the cost of an NJ Transit train $13.50. For those traveling from Baltimore and other points south, the Amtrak is a good option, and some travelers from as close as Philadelphia may also choose Amtrak in order to have a one-train trip and avoid having to change from the Philadelphia-area SEPTA trains to NJ Transit in Trenton.New Jersey Transit - Northeast Corridor line

Service between New Brunswick station and New York City's Penn Station can be between 30 and 70 minutes, depending on the time of day and whether the train is running on the local or express route both run at different times throughout the day. Local service is available to other New Jersey Transit stations such as Newark Penn Station, Newark Airport, and Trenton as such, New Brunswick is also an easy trip from Philadelphia via transfer from SEPTA.If you come in late at night, you might wind up having to walk through a few cars and disembark at the low platform. If the trains strike the occasional fool who mistakenly walks onto the tracks, trains can be delayed by several minutes.

From Highland Park, several of the bridges across the Raritan River are open to pedestrians and cyclists. The river is rather broad but easily walkable for healthy individuals. One can also come in from the south by way of Millstone New Jersey from East Brunswick or up Ryders Lane in East Brunswick, or by walking down the sidewalks of Easton Avenue from the west. Note: Approaches from the south and west can get pretty hilly.
