NJ Transit Fare Increase for New York Routes
NJ Transit has announced a fare increase for its bus routes to New York City. The new fare will be $24.40, a 15% increase from the previous $21.25. The increase is scheduled to take effect in the near future.
NJ Transit cites the need for safety and reliability upgrades as the reason for the fare increase. In recent polls, commuters have identified these factors as their top priorities. The increase will allow NJ Transit to make the necessary upgrades to ensure a safe and reliable ride for all commuters.
While some commuters may consider driving into New York City instead of paying the increased fare, it’s important to factor in the costs of tolls, gas, and parking. In most cases, taking the bus or train will still be the more cost-effective option.
Despite the fare increase, New Jersey remains a great place to live and raise a family. The state offers a variety of amenities and attractions, making it an ideal place to call home.
