New Jersey Transit will waive fares for a week from Aug. 26 to Sept. 2 to regain rider confidence after service disruptions this summer.
Gov. Murphy emphasized the fare holiday aims to ease commuter hardships and draw new riders, acknowledging the challenges faced due to significant service disruptions.
NJT this summer experienced significant issues with hundreds of canceled trains and extensive delays, precisely as the agency's fares increased by 15%, further straining riders.
While Murphy abstains from taking personal blame for NJT's service woes, he points fingers at Amtrak, which faces criticism for outdated infrastructure affecting operations.
