The segment is 5.3 miles (8.5 kilometers) long and runs between Newark Penn Station and Grove Street in Bloomfield. Before becoming a part of the Newark Light Rail service, it was also known as the #7-City Subway line. Despite its name, the Newark City Subway is a 'subway-surface' light rail line which runs underground downtown and above-ground in outlying areas. The Newark City Subway (NCS) is the longer of the two segments. On the PCC streetcars, cash fares were paid on board (except for a brief period prior to the introduction of LRVs, when proof-of-payment fare collection was instituted). Passengers must buy tickets before boarding and validate them before boarding the train.

The fare is $1.25 and is good for one hour on the entire system from the time the ticket is validated. The segments are run separately, with a single transfer point at Penn Station. The combined service was officially inaugurated on July 17, 2006. The service is made up of two segments, the Newark City Subway and, somewhat confusingly, the Newark Light Rail. The Newark Light Rail is a light rail system operated by New Jersey Transit serving Newark, New Jersey.
