NJ Transit fare increase - it's official
Interesting and crappy. So much for Sampsons statements of no increases,.
Oh and I wonder if the $130 transit tax deferred cap thingy will be able to go up by 9% too. I doubt it though.
I wonder why they can't reinstate the $230 cap? But that's federal...

Oh - it was $230? LOL - guess it really has been a while for me 
Well, let me pass on a tip for those 62 or older I just learned about, you qualify for reduced one way fares, so 40 one way trips to Penn Station are only $130. Happy Old Age!
At 62 years of age, one can qualify for an NJT senior citizen card. It is such a huge money saver that commuting daily using senior citizen tickets can be less expensive than purchasing a monthly ticket.
ETA: Another advantage is that senior citizen tickets can be purchased on the train with no penalty fee.
Pending hearing, of course--because that will make all the difference... :emoticon:
