To alleviate some of this traffic and the resulting headaches, as well as offering an alternative means of transportation, there is some public transportation available in Camden. Most of this deals with transportation from the cities and suburbs of Philadelphia. There are numerous methods of travel from Camden to Philadelphia, including the NJ Transit line going all the way from Atlantic City to Philadelphia and
passing through Camden on the way. This line also branches off to incorporate Cherry Hill, a large suburb of Philadelphia, into the rail line going into the city. Also available in terms of light rail service is the Patco Speedline, illustrated below and keeping the region moving! The PATCO line is another alternative to getting to Philadelphia for work and play, offering different stations than those of the NJ Transit 
Lines. The PATCO system also offers a ferry service across the Delaware River to get to Philadelphia and back again to New Jersey. This is another convenient alternative, but is only offered half of the year due to the winter weather in the Northeast. Yet another form of public transportation is the bus system in place in the various municipalities of Camden. This bus service, however, is not comprehensive in any sense and is geared to offer a helping hand to the elderly. 
These bus systems are periodic, but not periodic enough to offer a real alternative to commuting or transportation. Furthermore, some of the bus services are offered only to the elderly or disabled. They offer weekly fixed-route shopping routes and bi-monthly mall shopping visits, which sounds nice, but it means that the buses are in operation only one or two days a week and reservations are sometimes required a day in advance. Thus, it seems that the busing system is not a transportation alternative, but rather a convenience offered to those who are unable to transport themselves in cars.
