NJ Transit trains are facing declining reliability, with mean distance between failures dropping to 48,000 miles, resulting in significant service disruptions. Commuters experienced 105 train cancellations related to mechanical issues in February alone. To address these challenges, NJ Transit has proposed a two-pronged plan that includes purchasing new replacements and sourcing parts for the aging fleet. Governor Phil Murphy's budget aims to secure funds to replace approximately 1,000 buses and 250 rail cars, highlighting the urgency to improve the reliability and safety of the transit system.
