PATCO Haddonfield Station

I’m not a daily commuter, but occasionally I take Patco from Haddonfield to go to Philly for appointments; maybe once every few months. So, it does not make sense for me to buy a Freedom Card. Now, before 10am, the parking lots only let you in with a freedom card. Before the upgrade, they used to accept $ 1 in coins and let you into the parking lot. This has been stopped. So, if you want to park your car and take the train, you only have access to the parking lot after 10am when you can park free of charge. I don’t mind paying a buck or two, even more for safe parking, but they need to accept coins. What’s the point in making someone buy a Freedom Card if they are only going to use it a couple of times a year?
I do like the convenience of the Patco train. Takes you to the city without having to drive on the narrow potholed roads in the city, and all that traffic. The service is mostly on time, and the trains have a nice small town, old world appeal. The station sometimes feels a little scary, when you are the only woman waiting for a train at odd hours.

One of the best PATCO stations. close to everything in Haddonfield. Clean and sits underground too. Price to get the city cant really be beaten. .especially with parking being so much.
However, this station has a small parking lot.

This is my PATCO station of choice, located closest to my house in Cherry Hill. It’s right off the main street in Haddonfield, within walking distance to all of the little shops and restaurants that Haddonfield is famous for. While there’s nothing too fancy here, and not much free parking, the lots feel safe, even late at night, and I’ve always been able to find a spot (even if I have to pay $ 1 for it).
Fair warning, don’t use a $ 20 at the ticket machine — it only gives out change in $ 1 Sacajawea coins. It’s an absurd feature, and I’ve seen many infrequent travelers rushing to stuff their pockets with the gold coins before someone laughs at their surprise.
