Amtrak7 Posted August 26, 2011 Share #28 Posted August 26, 2011 I just heard on 1010 WINS that NJ Transit will be shutdown tomorrow at noon. The news said NJT rail, nothing about buses and light rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted August 26, 2011 Share #29 Posted August 26, 2011 The news said NJT rail, nothing about buses and light rail. Anything in and out of Atlantic & Cape May Counties will shutdown. At some point and time there will be no southbound travel on the GSP and ACE which will happen by night fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted August 26, 2011 Share #30 Posted August 26, 2011 The news said NJT rail, nothing about buses and light rail. There's a few sources saying the entire system will shut down. At first, I had heard Rail operations were to shut down at 12 Noon tomorrow, but now I'm hearing the entire system. New Jersey Transit does not have anything on the website yet I believe.

553 Bridgeton Posted August 26, 2011 Share #40 Posted August 26, 2011 That has to be Howell buses doing that because i didnt hear anything about our buses going up to Trenton. I know exactly where that arena is at. Its directly in front of the Riverline and near the state prison. Well the Rowan University Campus is full of people and no more room is left. Im still waiting for control to tell me im done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
