Since there is no longer a railroad passenger facility in Jersey City, you would still have to drive to a railroad station. Then again, is there even a railroad in Atlantic City anymore? Guess that's why people take those luxury busses to Atlantic City now.

Yes New Jersey Transit still runs to Atlantic City. https://www.njtransit.com/acrl

There was a brief experiment to run a direct train from New York City to Atlantic City directly sponsored by the Casions but it was discontinued in 2012. A bit of a modern Blue Comet without the same luxury. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...City_Express_Service

The CNJ's terminal in Jersey City survives, visitors to the statue of Liberty and Ellis Island from the New Jersey side walk through the terminal where passengers of the Blue Comet once passed through to catch their train.  Every few years it seems someone talks about connecting the light rail into the old terminal but nothing ever becomes of it.
