NJ Transit Announces Fare Holiday

By Idy Perl

New Jersey Governor Murphy announced that August 26 through September 2 will be a transit fare holiday. During this time, all fares on the NJ Transit will be waived and passengers will be able to ride for free.

This includes all the NJ Transit bus and train stops in Spring Valley, Nanuet and all other Rockland County stops as well.

Those who have already purchased an August pass will automatically get a 25% discount on their September pass. 

The fare holiday is a thank you to the loyal transit passengers who have put up with several service disruptions throughout the summer. 

“Understanding that our commuters have faced many disruptions this summer, we are providing a one-week fare holiday for NJ TRANSIT riders,” Governor Murphy said. “As we work diligently with Amtrak to investigate and address the issues that have occurred this summer, especially on the Northeast Corridor, we hope this fare holiday offers our commuters some relief. We also encourage New Jerseyans to take advantage of this opportunity, and we continue to be thankful to the many New Jerseyans who depend on public transit.”
