Reuters: Bombardier to Deliver 999 cars to N.J. Transit

N.J. Transit this week opened additional tracks at Hoboken Terminal, roughly three weeks after the agency suspended service into the terminal in the wake of a fatal crash.

NJ Transit’s Board of Directors has approved the purchase of 36 additional Multilevel III rail cars that offer increased seating capacity, mechanical reliability and improved customer amenities.

NJ Transit commuter rail trains had more total mechanical failures than other agencies nationwide, but the system ranks in the middle of the pack when evaluating the number of breakdowns based on passenger car miles.
