Transportation

Zip Code 19116 is not very transit friendly. Thankfully, property owners can rely on the Philmont, Forest Hills and Somerton with access to the West Trenton Line. House owners have access to around 20 bus lines, and bus stops are not very far away from most properties. However, driving is often the preferred way to navigate Zip Code 19116. It is easy to park.
