NJ TRANSIT
NJ TRANSIT provides regional bus service for Cumberland County travelers. Visitors should check current schedules before traveling because South Jersey routes can vary by day, direction, and season.
Transportation Overview
Cumberland County transportation is centered on practical South Jersey travel: NJ TRANSIT bus routes, local driving corridors, general aviation airports, and connections toward Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Cape May County, and neighboring South Jersey counties.
Connection-Based
Cumberland County does not function like a rail-heavy county. Rail trips usually involve connecting by bus or car to larger regional hubs, including Philadelphia, Camden/Lindenwold, or Atlantic City-area services.
Local Airports
The legacy page lists Bucks Airport, LaCalzi Airport, and Millville Municipal Airport. The refreshed guide highlights Millville Executive Airport as the main current aviation resource.
Driving Corridors
Key routes include Route 55, Route 47 / Delsea Drive, Route 49, Route 56 / Landis Avenue, Route 77, Route 347, and county roads serving the Bayshore and farm communities.

The original NJTGO transportation page listed NJ TRANSIT as the county’s primary bus-service resource. For current trip planning, use NJ TRANSIT’s route selector, PDF schedules, MyBus tools, alerts, and fare information.
Common South Jersey Travel Patterns
Cumberland County bus travel often serves a mix of local and regional trips: Bridgeton, Vineland, Millville, Upper Deerfield, Atlantic City, Cape May County, and Philadelphia-area connections.
Always confirm route number, stop location, fare zone, and operating day directly with NJ TRANSIT before leaving.
Rail and Regional Connections
Rail Service
The original Cumberland County transportation page included a Rail Service heading but did not list a rail station. For most visitors, rail travel is handled through regional connections: bus or car to NJ TRANSIT rail/light rail, PATCO, Philadelphia, Camden County, or Atlantic City Line access points.
Use NJ TRANSIT’s train and light rail tools for current schedules and transfer planning.

Visitor Transportation Tips
Plan ahead: Cumberland County has wide rural areas, long distances between attractions, and fewer walkable transit hubs than urban North Jersey counties. Check schedules, return trips, operating days, and airport status before traveling.
For Bayshore trips
Allow extra travel time for Maurice River, Downe Township, Greenwich, Port Norris, East Point Lighthouse, and nature areas along the Delaware Bay.
For events
Venues in Vineland, Millville, Bridgeton, and at the airport may require driving, rideshare, or careful bus planning, especially at night.
For regional connections
Philadelphia, Camden, Atlantic City, Cape May, and Delaware Bay destinations can be connected through a mix of NJ TRANSIT buses, highways, and local driving routes.
