Book excerpt: Governor Kean breaks ground for the 1984 opening of the cream- and brick- colored bus and rail terminal housing New Jersey Transit and the Port Authority Transit Corp."The history of Camden is inextricably linked to transportation," said Gov. Kean. "Even before the state was a state or the city a city, Cooper Ferry was transporting people." The transportation center for the first time consolidates the bus and rail service in Camden under one facility. The terminal, on Broadway between Federal Street and Mickle Boulevard, stands where the old brick head house of the fomer transportation center originally operated before it was closed and demolished in 1984 to make way for the high tech facility with a skylight, glass walls, bilingual signs and special directions to Philadelphia's sports stadiums.
