The journey to work or the world begins at Trenton station. The station, now undergoing a comprehensive $74 million renovation due to be completed this year, is the hub where commuters and travellers board New Jersey Transit, Amtrak, SEPTA or the RiverLINE. Jobs in Manhattan are an easy, one-hour commute from Trenton’s bargain housing market on NJ Transit. Center City Philadelphia is closer still on the SEPTA’s R7 Line. Travellers can board a train in Trenton and arrive inside the terminals at either Newark Liberty  or Philadelphia International airports. Union Station in Washington is just two-and-a-half hours from Trenton on Amtrak.
