TRENTON, New Jersey – Gov. Murphy today announced a transit fare holiday for all NJ Transit customers from Aug. 26 through Sept. 2.

During this period, fares will be waived for all modes of transportation, and free rides will be offered across the NJ Transit network as a “Thank You” to the hundreds of thousands of loyal customers who depend on public transit.

Monthly pass holders who have already purchased an August pass, which covers travel through the end of the month, will automatically receive a 25% discount on their September monthly pass purchase through the mobile app, at Ticket Vending Machines, or ticket windows.

Officials said the fare holiday is a way to express appreciation for customers’ continued loyalty and patronage, particularly during a time when transit service has not consistently met their expectations. NJ Transit said it recognizes the impacts these service issues have had over the past few months and remains committed to improving the travel experience for transit customers.
