Whether you are on the southbound side or the northbound side you are definitely HERE if you want to use the light rail. Service goes as high as Trenton and as low as the aquarium. They opened in 2004.

There is a map of the entire region traveled by the light rail and next to it are the You Are Here maps.
Station Info
The River Line cuts diagonally between streets until reaching Fourth Street, where street running begins. The line turns onto Cooper Street where this unique Cooper Street/Rutgers University Station is located. The station is unique in that the northbound platform is between 3rd and 2nd Streets, and the southbound platform is between 2nd and Front Streets. In each case the platform is on the sidewalk and the track is in Cooper Street in the curb lane. Rutgers University-Camden is nearby, as is Campbell’s Field, home of the Camden River Sharks, a minor league baseball team. It is still a weird site for me to see trains running down the middle of the street in a residential/business neighborhood. Such is progress.
