NJ Transit Cross-Honors Tickets Through Wednesday

NJ Transit has put systemwide cross-honoring in effect in anticipation of the snowstorm expected to start Tuesday night.

Cross-honoring begins Tuesday night and continues all day Wednesday. Customers can use their tickets for alternate travel modes—rail, bus or light rail.  For instance, a customer. who usually takes the bus to the Port Authority Bus Terminal can instead use his or her ticket to take a train to New York Penn Station.

All NJ Transit rail station buildings and waiting rooms will remain open extended hours, including evenings and overnight, throughout the storm.

NJ Transit plans to operate rail service on a regular weekday schedule Wednesday. The center doors on single-level rail cars will not be used, because center doors are particularly susceptible to snow and ice issues, NJ Transit said. It's asking customers to use the doors located at the ends of each rail car.

It warns trains may be subject to slower boarding and slightly longer dwell times at stations that could result in scattered minor delays across the system.

Light rail service is expected to operate on a regular weekday schedule Wednesday as well.

 The agency says every effort will be made to continue operating bus service systemwide on a regular weekday schedule, but customers may experience delays, detours or service suspensions on certain routes due to significant snowfall, particularly in northern New Jersey.  

Service advisories will be posted to njtransit.com.
