If "expanding bus services to communities across the state" includes having NJT take over the many private carrier routes that never returned after COVID, this is huge. Large swaths of North & Central Jersey have no usable transit outside of weekday commute hours (or even at all) because of this.
Together, we will cut through red tape and make sure we’re fixing our aging roads and bridges, reducing delays on NJ TRANSIT, expanding bus services to communities across the state, and continuing progress on the Gateway Project.

She lives on one of the most reliable lines but as it's NJT that still means a noticeable failure rate

LIRR+MN account for 41% of the commuter rail vehicle revenue miles in the US. (NJT is 17%.) SEPTA is another 5%, Caltrain another 3%, Denver 2%, South Shore 1%.

I have a gnawing feeling they're deciding between Maine (another major Somali refugee spot) and New Jersey (just passed a slate of anti-ICE bills) as their next target, because there have been reports of ICE snatching people at NJT stations this week

it's not just JC anymore, sheer demand is basically printing 5-over-1s all over the place near NJT stations and major roads

NJT only just realized that one of the busiest stations on its system (and Amtrak's system lol) was a good site for TOD so uh some work is needed lol

I think we need to look to orgs like NJT and ideally European state railways
Santa Cruz metro shouldn’t be responsible for delivering their branch line project. The state should have 3-5 teams capable of delivering rail projects that get farmed out to local governments or get used for intercity rail

TFW you haven't bought your ticket yet and you know the conductor is going to yell at you to not be an idiot like 300 other people today and do it before you get into the Faraday cage beneath Penn Station, but it's actually because the NJT app hasn't been working for like 30min.

There was a brief shining moment in the late 1990's-mid 2000's when NJT had actual money and we got Secaucus Junction, the Kearny and Montclair Connections, the ALP46's, and most of the current rail and bus fleets to show for it.

The EWR AirTrain isn’t serving NJT/Amtrak for 10 hours every weekday starting next week. Of course, it’s not during overnight hours when people aren’t trying to catch a flight. The daily shutdown starts precisely at the time of the first airport departure of the day. Disband the Port Authority.

Rimming my next margarita glass with NJT blend premium ice melter. 🍸
TIL that NJ Transit has its own specific mix of ice melter…I wonder what is in it?

This morning, before I headed out on the rails for some business, I identified where NJT 4506 (the autism locomotive) was via the Heritage Units tracker and prepared to possibly meet it as we passed each other.
It proceeded to whip past me too fast for me to photograph or document it.

There is a GIS map, and it is very chaotic. I find Transit App super helpful for visualizing NJT bus routes. njogis-newjersey.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/cfc...
Bus Lines of NJ Transit
Bus routes from the November 2025 service change. Generalized bus routes with operating patterns dissolved into a single record per line number.

Le Journal de Montreal with a 6-page package: In search of the next Guy Lafleur. Timely piece. No Quebecers on the men’s Olympic team; one (Caleb Desnoyers) on Canada’s NJT. The talent pipeline has dried up, at least for elite players. Why?

Having lived in Japan, the way US transit fails to give any useful information to users appears downright intentional. Forget the website, why are there not clearly recorded and understandable announcements? Why isn't there a screen clearly showing a map and the next stop? NJT is bad but not alone.

Somehow the private NJ operators (e.g. the various CoachUSA subsidiaries) are even worse than NJT about this, even though you'd think they'd have an profit incentive to make it possible for customers to find out their service exists.

It's the pork roll, cheese, and egg on a Kaiser I buy with an el mondo grosso coffee at Princeton Junction. NJT -> SEPTA to Philly, or up to the WTC for another day at the fun factory.

You can also skip Amtrak altogether and take NJT and SEPTA. You just have to transfer in Trenton. It's cheaper.

If every NJT bus line magically had 10 min headways, what are the lines that would get significantly higher ridership? While NJT responds to ridership changes, I bet there are lots of changes they should consider and aren't on their radar.
