The New Jersey Transit Corporation (usually shortened to New Jersey Transit or NJ Transit) is a statewide public transportation system serving the state of New Jersey, and Orange and Rockland counties in New York. It operates bus, light rail, and commuter rail services throughout the state, notably connecting to major commercial and employment centers both within the state and in the adjacent cities of New York and Philadelphia. All but two of NJ Transit's commuter trains feed into New York's Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan or Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey. The exceptions are the Atlantic City Line, which terminates at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia and the Raritan Valley Line, which terminates at Newark's Penn Station. Most NJ Transit commuter buses go to Manhattan's Port Authority Bus Terminal and to Philadelphia's Greyhound Terminal (or Market Street in Philadelphia). Covering a service area of 5,325 square miles, NJ Transit is the nation's largest statewide public transit system^[1] and the nation's third largest provider of bus, rail and light rail transit^[3], linking major points in New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia.

History

NJ Transit, founded in 1979, was an offspring of the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), mandated by the state government to address the many transportation issues that had developed at the time. NJ Transit came into being with the passage of the Public Transportation Act of 1979 to "acquire, operate and contract for transportation service in the public interest." NJ Transit originally acquired and managed a number of private bus services. Conrail (or Consolidated Rail Corporation) had been formed in 1976 through the merging of a number of financially troubled railroads, and operated commuter railroad service under contract from the NJDOT.

In 1983, NJ Transit assumed operation of all commuter rail service in New Jersey from Conrail. It now operates every passenger and commuter rail line in the state except for Amtrak; the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH), which is owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey; the PATCO Hi-Speedline, which is owned by the Delaware River Port Authority; and a handful of tourist trains in the southern and northwestern parts of New Jersey. New Jersey Transit also runs most of the state's bus lines. In northern New Jersey, many of the bus routes are arranged in a web. In southern New Jersey, most routes are arranged in a "spoke-and-hub" fashion, with routes emanating from Trenton, Camden, and Atlantic City. In addition to routes run by New Jersey Transit, NJ Transit also subsidizes and provides buses for most of the state's private operators, such as Coach USA, Lakeland, and Academy, providing fixed route or commuter service.

In the 1990s, the system expanded, with new Midtown Direct service to New York City and new equipment. On October 21, 2001 it opened a new station at Newark International Airport. On December 15, 2003, NJ Transit opened the Secaucus Junction transfer station, connecting two major portions of the system, allowing passengers on Hoboken-bound trains to switch trains to get to Midtown Manhattan more conveniently. The transfer saves passengers headed into Midtown Manhattan an estimated 15 minutes of travel time.

Instead, the Newark Light Rail and River Line fare is a flat $1.35, and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail fare is a flat $1.90 (transfers to bus lines are extra).

THE Tunnel

NJ Transit is preparing to construct a new two-track Hudson River tunnel adjacent to the two existing single-track tunnels (built in the early 20th century) by the Pennsylvania Railroad. The tunnels are on the Northeast Corridor. NJ Transit is billing this project as THE Tunnel or Trans-Hudson Express Tunnel, which using Dual-Mode Locomotives will allow for the first time a 1-seat ride between the Port Jervis, Main, Bergen County, Pascack Valley, and Raritan Valley lines and Penn Station New York. Governor Jon Corzine has announced that groundwork may begin in 2009 with the tunnels finished in 2016^[4].

Newark-Elizabeth Rail Link

Construction has been completed on a section of the Newark-Elizabeth Rail Link, a light rail project in 3 stages that will eventually link the downtowns of Newark and Elizabeth via the Newark Light Rail and the proposed Union County Light Rail. The first stage of construction, which links Newark Broad Street and Newark Penn Station via the Newark Light Rail, opened in July 2006. The remaining two stages of this project were removed from the list of NJ Transit's capital improvement projects on May 10, 2006, making it unlikely that they will be constructed.

Sparta Branch

This proposed branch would utilize the current NYS&W main line. Commuter trains would depart the long abandoned Sparta Station heading east through Beaver Lake, Stockholm, Green Pond, West Milford, Butler, and Pompton. Trains would then leave NYS&W rails via an existing connection with current NJT rail on the old Erie Main just north of Paterson Station. Passengers would then have the option of switching trains at Secaucus for Midtown service, or continuing to Hoboken. The proposed Sparta Branch would be a NJT operated rail line that runs from Hoboken NJ, on existing NJT rail through Paterson NJ. North of Paterson the Branch would leave the main line via an existing connection to the current NYS&W main line. ...

Lackawanna Cutoff

In May of 2001, New Jersey Transit purchased the property of the Lackawanna Cutoff. This line, constructed by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad between 1908 and 1911 provided a direct, level-graded route between the Delaware River (Slateford, Pennsylvania), two miles (3.25 km) below the Delaware Water Gap, to the crest of the watershed at Lake Hopatcong (Port Morris, New Jersey). The DL&W had a penchant for extensive concrete construction, and as a result, most of the structures, including stations, bridges, and vast viaducts are still in operational or near-operational condition, despite the abandonment by Conrail in 1979. A 2004 study conducted by New Jersey Transit estimates that bringing the line back into operation would cost approximately $350 million. The proposed rehabilitation project, which still lacks funding, if completed, would provide direct, high-speed commuter rail service between Scranton, Pennsylvania and Hoboken Terminal on the Hudson River waterfront in New Jersey (with connecting service to trains serving New York's Penn Station). Service to Midtown Manhattan would be made available to the growing exurban communities in Monroe County in the Poconos, and in upper Warren County and lower Sussex County.

Monmouth-Ocean-Middlesex (MOM)

The Monmouth-Ocean-Middlesex (MOM)^[7] line is a proposed central New Jersey commuter rail route offering those county's residents access to New Brunswick, Newark and New York's Penn Station. The line was originally proposed by the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders in March of 1980. This route would run on a 40.1-mile rail corridor and would provide diesel commuter rail service from Monmouth Junction (South Brunswick), where the Jamesburg Branch partially joins the Northeast Corridor (NEC), to Lakehurst.

Multilevel Trains

Introduction

On 11 December 2006, NJ Transit introduced its first Multilevel Train, operating as train 3844 on the Northeast Corridor.^[9] The train's six multilevel cars were manufactured by Bombardier Transportation. By spring 2007, 18 more cars will enter service. Next fall, multilevel trains will begin to operate on the Morris & Essex and North Jersey Coast lines. All 234 cars will be delivered by the end of 2008.

In spring 2007, NJ Transit announced that it would be cheaper to exercise a 45 car option of the multilevel Comet VI cars rather than complete a mid-life overhaul of the 49 existing Comet III cars and that it had exercised its option. Additionally adding more multilevel cars would be found to increase seating capactity.^[10] This increased NJ Transit's order to 279 total cars including 6 additional coach cars with ADA bathrooms, 9 additional cab cars with ADA bathrooms, and 30 additional coach cars without bathrooms.
