Amazing video about the history of PATCO. I would like more information about how it is typically used today. Is it primarily a park and ride for NJ riders to park and then commute to work in NYC? Are there interesting, walkable destinations for Philadelphians going over into NJ? Can it be linked with other modes of mass transit to get to interesting parts of NJ?

About half of the riders drive to stations and ride. The Other half live nearby stations. On the Jersey side the only (true) walkable stations are: Camden, Collingswood, Westmont, and Haddonfield
