What's The New Normal At Lincoln Tunnel, Jersey Side? (PHOTOS)

HOBOKEN, NJ — NJ Transit said last week that its trains will resume their regular weekday schedule on Monday, July 6. Buses already resumed their regular weekday schedules on Monday, June 8.

Ridership will likely remain lower than before the coronavirus crisis, and buses also are restricting capacity to 50 percent as a safety measure.

So now that some public transit is returning to normal, what does that mean for the Jersey crossings to New York City? Are offices calling people back into work?

With school out and some people still working at home to slow the spread of coronavirus, traffic on Monday morning was still not back to being, well, backed up, like it would have been months ago.

These photos were taken at 8:30 a.m. Monday in Weehawken, NJ.

On Saturday, Gov. Phil Murphy reported 37 new coronavirus-linked deaths in New Jersey in the previous 24 hours, and 347 cases statewide. That means there have been 13,094 deaths since early March in New Jersey, and 170,873 confirmed cases.

But the daily death rate has declined since the state's most deadly day, April 30, when 460 New Jerseyans had been lost to the virus in 24 hours, or one person every three minutes.

Starting this week, malls, playgrounds, and some indoor dining can reopen in New Jersey, with restrictions.
