Nj transit train zones for free#

The number of zones printed on a NJT monthly rail pass is the number of zones you can use on a NJT bus for free with that pass. It seems a little confusing, but I think the options mentioned on the page you reffered us to are separate programs to allow people who want an alternative to taking the train and I think a lot of these busses stop at various stations along the rail lines mentioned on the website. Even when I was in high school and I used to have a rail pass (and paid the feeder fare) I was able to use it on just about any bus line. But if you consult any NJT Bus timetable and you look under fare options, those people with monthly rail passes can use their card.

Irish Chieftan: I saw this and it is a specific program benefit rider on the train lines listed on the site. (Used to be that monthly passes were good only for reduced fare on local bus travel.) See the bottom of this page for specifics.

However, you must have a rail pass that reads two zone or higher to ride the Hudson Bergen Light rail. IF you have a monthly rail pass that indicates at least 1 zone you can ride on the Newark Light Rail and RIVERLine. One point of clarification though regarding light rail. I liked being able to get into Midtown and not having to buy a separate pass or pay the old Feeder fares (meaning I had to carry a bunch of change). Believe it or not I just switched to NJT Rail from taking the PATH into NYC for this convienience. For an example, my Newark to NYP pass will allow me to ride an NJT Bus for up to 3 zones. The zone information on your monthly rail pass refers to the number of zones you can travel on NJT Bus. 'Passengers with rail passes printed with a bus zone equivalency may use their NJ TRANSIT rail pass for any NJ TRANSIT light rail or for NJ TRANSIT bus trips up to the number of zones imprinted during the period the pass is valid.' Just to clarify:Р”РЋ) Does the zone info printed on the monthly RAIL pass pertain to Bus Zones (I looked at the bus schedule and was able to find the zone info, thanks!)Р”Сћ) Irish Chieftain, the information on the link seems to indicate two separate programs:Р”Р„) Rail passes to be used on buses (less restrictive - stay within the zone limit, use on any bus line?):
