Blinkerdoors Posted April 20, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 20, 2010 I can hardly wait for the 1st of May. People are going to be past angry to livid. Poor drivers!

EE Broadway Local Posted April 21, 2010 Share #3 Posted April 21, 2010 A bus ride like the (NJT) #80 Jersey City goes from $1.35 to $1.50 but a (NJT) HBLR ride goes to $2.10. It'll also be slightly more to ride a bus from Jersey City to Bayonne or from Newark to Elizabeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, I live down here in Philly, the only way to get to the HBLR is if i take the NEC first... which is gonna be HIGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted April 21, 2010 Share #5 Posted April 21, 2010 Off-Peak Roundtrips are my favorite when I went to Philly three times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted April 21, 2010 Share #6 Posted April 21, 2010 The Off-peak round trip tickets are being thrown out the window on May 1st. Talk about pockets being raped on May 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.J. Posted April 21, 2010 Share #7 Posted April 21, 2010 Yea even me, as one of the biggest NJT fans here, does not agree with these choices. However, at least they aren't cutting Access Link (ParaTransit). Disabled peopple do ALOT of protesting when their transpostation is disrpted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkouassi Posted May 1, 2010 Share #8 Posted May 1, 2010 Make sure to get enough money because the New Jersey Transit fare has gone up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from Maspeth Posted May 2, 2010 Share #9 Posted May 2, 2010 It sure is a stiff increase. With no more off peak round trip, my occasional fan trip ride from NYP to Trenton gets upped from about $21 to $31. I can save $8 round trip by taking PATH to NWK and boarding there, but I have to take into account the PATH fare...........and the additional trip time required. As I'm 57 y/o, one of these years I can ride as a senior citizen! What age is their criteria? 62 or 65? Does one need a special ID? Is a NY resident (me) eligible for a senior discount on NJT?

The residents of NJ elected this guy and they only have themselves to blame for this. This guy is going to find a way to screw everybody, state workers and residents alike. And if you qualify as both, look out! And he doesn't care. I heard him say a few weeks ago words to the effect that he is going to do what he thinks is right and in 3 1/2 years the people can decide if they agree or disagree. Sounds like another emperor who went to the same school as Guiliani & Bloomburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
