The Public Service Terminal was a two-level Streetcar station in Newark, New Jersey , owned and operated by the Public Service Corporation . It served as the terminus for streetcar lines from as far as Trenton, New Jersey and Camden, New Jersey . It was located at the northeast corner of Broad Street and Raymond Boulevard. The terminal opened on May 1 , 1916 , as a solution to traffic problems on Newark streets, especially at the Broad Street/Market Street intersection. Two access points were provided. From the west, the Cedar Street Subway carried streetcars from Washington Street to the lower level. From the east, a ramp from Mulberry Street accessed the upper level. On June 20 , 1937 , the Cedar Street Subway was pushed through to the new Newark Penn Station as part of the Newark City Subway . At this time, the lower level stopped being used. The last streetcar line to use the terminal was the #1-Newark line (to Exchange Place Terminal in Jersey City ); its last run was August 1 , 1937 . EXTERNAL LINKS REFERENCES
