NJ Transit

The $50M added to the state budget by lawmakers for the subsidy to NJ Transit will remain in the spending plan when it is enacted Sunday by Gov. Phil Murphy.

The work-to-rule action led to 44 NJ Transit trains being canceled on Saturday and Sunday due to lack of "engineer availability."

NJ Transit trains already enroute were allowed to continue to their destination but no additional trains were leaving their respective stations.

NJ Transit will modify some train schedules starting on Monday but it's not expected to cause major issues.

The agency said the driver' action was "not acceptable."

Regular service resumed on Monday after "a sufficient number" of the fleet’s wheels passed "rigorous, around-the-clock testing and inspections," according to a statement from NJ Transit.

Off-peak direct trains into NYC have been suspended since September. A bill directs NJ Transit to study what it would take to make such service full-time.

The new device could be used for fare cards and eventually allow payment by credit and debit cards on buses.

The driver of the bus, a 58-year-old woman from Paterson, was very upset after the incident and was hospitalized for distress.
