NJ TRANSIT Cross-honoring Tickets on Monday

NEWARK, NJ — As winter weather moves into the region, NJ TRANSIT operations, customer service and police personnel across the state are preparing to keep the system running smoothly and minimize delays.

To give customers additional travel options during expected winter weather conditions, NJ TRANSIT will offer full systemwide cross-honoring on Monday, March 2, 2009. Customers holding any NJ TRANSIT ticket or pass will be able to use it on any mode—rail, bus or light rail. For example, customers who normally take the bus from Rutherford to the Port Authority Bus Terminal will be able to use their bus tickets on the train from Rutherford to New York Penn Station.

NJ TRANSIT asks its customers to follow these winter travel tips:

Before starting your trip, visit the Travel Alerts page at www.njtransit.com for up-to-the-minute service information. This information is also available by calling (973) 275-5555 or from broadcast traffic reports.
Allow extra time getting to and from your destination. Use extreme caution when walking on exposed sidewalks or station platforms and when boarding trains and buses.
Report slippery or unsafe conditions to bus operators, train crews or
NJ TRANSIT staff.
Listen closely to public address announcements at stations for late-breaking service information.
