NEWARK — NJ Transit bus customers can now receive up-to-the-minute travel information for their specific trip through the My Transit alert system, which sends a text alert directly to customers’ cell phones, pagers, PDAs or email whenever there is a delay affecting their designated itinerary.
“We are expanding our My Transit alert service to include local and intrastate bus routes in addition to interstate services, so that we can provide all of our bus customers the resources they need to make informed decisions about their commute,” said NJ Transit Executive Director Richard Sarles in a release July 9.
Previously, My Transit alerts were available only to NJ Transit rail customers, and more recently expanded to light rail and interstate bus customers. The alert system currently has about 30,000 active subscribers.
Beginning this week, NJ Transit will begin providing up-to-the-minute travel information to local and intrastate bus customers. The new functionality will enable NJ Transit’s Bus Control Center in Maplewood to inform customers of traffic and other conditions that may impact bus service.
Bus customers can sign up to receive free My Transit travel alerts at www.njtransit.com.
Customers are prompted to select their preferred method of notification (email, cell phone, etc.) and enter information about bus, rail or light rail trips they take each day.
West Cape May – The amount of TV shows airing is getting out of hand. Less movies are being produced today than ever before. Instead, people are glued to watching shows that most people never heard of.
