There are now two ways to get to & from Burlington From Philadelphia, PA via New Jersey Transit buses and via the New River line

Getting to Burlington via the new River Line light rail.

Hours: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Last trains will leave Camden at 8:50 p.m. and Trenton at 9:10 p.m. Trains will run every 15 minutes during peak hours (6 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. weekdays) and every 30 minutes during off-peak hours and weekends.

From Philadelphia this means catching a New Jersey Transit bus to the Walter Rand Transportation Center in Camden then boarding the River Line train. It is cheaper and faster than taking one of the New Jersey Transit buses all the way to Burlington.

From the SEPTA train platforms in the Market East Regional Rail Station (The Gallery Mall) a simple and safe way to catch the New Jersey Transit buses is to exit the train platform up the escalator to the "Section B" waiting area. (This is also where the train tickets are sold and there is an information booth.) Turn to your right as you come off the escalator and walk into the lower level of the mall, turn left and go up the escalator one floor to the street level of the mall. As you come off the escalator continue straight ahead past the next set of escalators toward the 10th Street exit. Just before the 10th Street exit, take the hallway to your right that will take you past the most wonderful soft pretzel shop out onto Market Street. As you exit the mall, onto Market Street, immediately to your right is a NJ Transit bus shelter where you can wait for your bus. You want any NJ Transit bus that is NOT an Express bus. The bus will take you over the Ben Franklin Bridge to the Walter Rand Transportation Center in Camden. The ride is about 15 minutes. Verify with the driver that the bus stops at the Walter Rand Transportation Center in Camden (express buses skip the transportation center). Ask the driver for a "two zone interstate continuing trip ticket" for the River Line light rail. Be prepared to pay the driver $2.05 in exact change. Keep your ticket! It is your proof that you paid for both the bus and the train.

Buses to the Walter Rand Transportation Center will drop you in various locations inside and outside the Transportation Center. Walk out the front of the bus terminal then cross the street to the PATCO High Speed line station. If the bus dropped you outside, look for the PATCO High Speed line station.
