NJ Transit Announces Service Plan For Tuesday

NJ Transit has announced service plans for Tuesday, and until further notice, following the fatal rail accident at Hoboken Terminal last week.

NJ Transit will continue to honor fares purchased for PATH, ferries, buses, and private carriers. All rail service into and out of Hoboken Terminal remains suspended. Hudson-Bergen light rail service has been restored into and out of Hoboken and will continue to operate on a full weekday schedule.
