New Jersey Transit Fare Hikes Take Effect Saturday

 

By Herald Staff

TRENTON– NJ Transit bus and rail riders will pay more to reach their destinations starting Saturday, May 1.
Under the plan, fares for local bus, light rail and Access Link services will rise 10 percent on May 1, 2010. The cost of a one-zone bus trip will increase from $1.35 to $1.50.
Although one-way commuter rail tickets will increase 25 percent, deep monthly discounts will be maintained. Off-peak rail roundtrip discounts – currently used by 17 percent of rail customers – will not be sold after April 30 and will not be accepted after May 23. Most customers using weekly and monthly rail passes will continue to be able to make connections between trains and buses without additional cost.
Interstate and commuter bus fares will increase 25 percent. Discounted 10-trip tickets will continue to be offered, with discounts capped at 15 percent.
Discounts for seniors, children and people with disabilities will continue to be offered at 50 percent or more off the applicable one-way fare.
The revised fare plan reduces the systemwide fare increase to 22%.
