Is travel on NJ TRANSIT free? Travel on NJ TRANSIT is not free. We are encouraging customers to purchase their tickets on the mobile app or at any Ticket Vending Machine.
Pay Your FareMost local buses require exact change in coins or $1 bills. NJ TRANSIT light rail systems utilize a "proof of payment" fare collection system. An activated ticket, monthly pass, transfer, or continuing trip ticket receipt is considered proof of payment.
NJ TRANSIT bus fares are based on the number of zones traveled between your origin and destination. The fare for a one-zone intrastate trip is $1.50 ($. 70 for seniors/persons with disabilities/children). Additional zone charges may apply for longer trips.
New Jersey Transit Corporation, branded as NJ Transit, and often shortened to NJT, is a state-owned public transportation system that serves the US state of New Jersey, along with portions of New York State and Pennsylvania.
At least six NJ TRANSIT trains stop every hour at the Newark Liberty International Airport Station between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. weekdays. Four trains stop every hour between 9 p.m. and midnight. Trains that stop at the airport are designated with an airplane or "EWR" on departure boards.
NJ TRANSIT says face coverings are no longer required at train platforms and bus stops that are outdoors. That means commuters are free to take off their masks if they're outside. Masks are still required on trains and buses and inside stations.
For information by telephone, call our Transit Information Center. Automated service is available 24/7 and operators are available from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m daily.
Eating and drinking is permitted aboard trains, but not aboard buses or light rail vehicles. If you choose to eat or drink aboard the train, please be considerate of your fellow passengers and remember to take all trash with you when you disembark.
NJ TRANSIT buses will operate on either holiday, weekday or Saturday schedules, depending on the route. Bus customers should check the Holiday Service Guide box on their timetables or on NJ TRANSIT's website carefully to determine what service will operate on their route.
During off-peak hours, ridership is lower and train crew sizes are reduced to better align with this lower ridership. If at any time off-peak train capacity reaches 50% and a car is available but closed, crews are required to open the closed car and make it available to our customers.
The service is offered every night except Saturdays, when full River LINE service operates until midnight. The Pennsauken Park & Ride provides 452 free parking spaces and is conveniently located near several major highways, including Route 73, Route 130, the New Jersey Turnpike and I-295.
