Russell, though, makes a point when he describes the NJ Transit Atlantic City Line an underused resource. An average of 2,550 boarded the train each weekday in fiscal year 2015, according to NJ Transit. The agency doesn't have precise data on who is using the line, but said 25 percent of the line's trips were paid for with monthly or weekly passes, implying there is a commuting population on that train. A 2013 customer survey found about 44 percent of riders said they were using the train for work.
