ACES train makes NYC to Atlantic City less of a gamble

This train is a big scam.
(1) "Straight" service to AC/ Bullshit. This freakin train goes to Philly first. It does not literally go into the Philly station but you are right outside the city as it switches tracks. Talk about false advertising. This is akin to thinking you are taking a non-stop flight to Vegas - but you are really going through Chicago

(2) Comfort? Please! If you are over 6 feet you are in trouble. Very tight.

(3) Time - sucks! 3 hours. This is NOT faster than a bus as a bus goes STRAIGHT to AC. I will say that you can hit traffic but if you leave on a reasonable traffic day you will get there way faster via bus.

(4) Expense - now up to $78 RT. Bus is WAYYYYYYYYY cheaper plus you get extras like slot play and such. Of course you can pay way more for first calss comfort as you will need it if you are tall or large (see above)
