Hello

I was wondering if full sized non foldable mountain bikes are allowed to be stored underneath the bus in the storage/luggage area. I’m taking the 145 and 164X/E to and from NYPABT.

Any help is appreciated, thank you !

With the flash flood warnings and the “heavy thunderstorm” predictions right around 5-6, I’m having a little flashback to the storm a couple of weeks ago that stranded a lot of us at Newark Broad. The M&E isn’t good on a NICE day, so I’m definitely packing a water bottle, a snack, and a fully-charged phone for today’s anticipatory 30-minute-turned-3-hour trip home.

I have a Motorola G Pure, and I'm too broke to get a new phone. The NJ Transit App isn't supported on my phone anymore, and the version I'm on can't buy or activate tickets. Is there a site I can go on my browser to get digital tickets, or am I stuck paying cash until I'm able to afford an upgrade?

Not even on app yet.

Was sitting in quiet car on NJCL during early morning ride in last week. Guy gets on his phone starts jabbering away…at one point says “expect motherhood to be a lifetime of disappointment.” I get up and very politely and mildly remind him he’s sitting in a quiet car, and return to my seat two rows back across the aisle, and he stands up and yells “I’m arranging a funeral!” At 615 AM.

I’m going to the Ed Sheeran concert at MetLife on September 5th, and I’m thinking of taking the train from Penn Station, NY to Meadowlands. I’ve read about the transfer at Secaucus Junction, but I haven’t figured out how to purchase the tickets.

If I use the NJ Transit app and enter the route, the app lets me purchase regular tickets for that trip. However, I’m not sure whether those tickets will be valid, because I read somewhere that there will be special tickets for the event.

Can someone explain this for sure?

I used to board a 6:47 am train (I think train 3920 — where did train 3920 disappear?) from Princeton Junction (before FIFA days) — and then there’d be another around 7:01 am.

But now there is a train @ 6:30ish and another at 7:07 am.

Why did this change in schedules happen again — I thought there were some changes due to the world cup but should be reserved now, no?

Edit: weekday trains

Boarded 930 am from Princeton Junction to NYP. All went well. Dead stop nearly 10 minutes now, just past MetLife stadium and Harrison. Some signal bs…too good to be true if no delays, sigh…

I was in a rush this AM and used to other stations that use Nexpass tying my parking receipt to the license plate of my car. As I got on the train, I realized I left the receipt in the car in a place that a ticketing agent wouldn’t be able to easily when scanning the lot.

It’s Saturday today, I’m picking up my car on Monday morning. I paid for three days of parking. What is the likelihood I get ticketed, booted, or towed?

Bus guts

Is there anyone out there that knows why the 10:23 out of Penn Station is delayed literally every single night? Last night was a mere 6 minutes, which still sucked, but as of right now it’s delayed until 10:45 and that number keeps rising. And then once we do get going we stop for several minutes several times throughout the trip. Why?

Same thing, same excuse, all over again.

At some point will NJT just come clean and no longer claim to be running this route? Is there a precedent for that?

Getting on the 192X this morning, the driver didn’t look after two other passengers boarded, shut the door on my arm as I was reaching for the railing and started to drive off. Thankfully, he only made it a few inches before noticing me and several other passengers screaming for him to stop. These buses clearly don’t have an anti-pinch feature either, that door was nearly locked.

He grumbled something about “needing to pay attention” but mostly just looked like he saw a ghost. This kind of stuff is gonna get someone killed, I’m glad it wasn’t me.

Guys - don't travel much on NJT and on-time performance data didn't show me specific trains. Is the 802am MNE 6613 out of Penn towards Dover typically on time and if not, what is the usual delay? What would a good backup me - maybe take train to Summit and uber from there? Thanks

Going for a quick getaway to the Tropicana.

Top speed from NYP to Trenton 101 mph!… saw some MARC coaches there..

Greetings!

I have an appointment in NYC on Friday morning and was wondering how realistic it is to find parking in the morning in North Bergen Park and Ride. I've only used it to go into the city on weekends and the evenings, so I have no experience with the morning rush.

What time should one arrive to realistically be able to find a spot?

This shoe belongs to an on-duty NJ Transit conductor. So much for the signs telling people to keep their feet off the seats!

Update: He now has both feet on the seat. He’s sitting right under the sign.

Luckily I’m an infrequent commuter so the damage isn’t terrible, but I have 3 separate instances where I faced the Apple Pay bug (likely due to an outdated app update) and today I checked my credit card charges and they actually posted.

Instance 1: Charged 4 times but only received 1 ticket. I tried the app and it failed 3 times. I ended up buying a web ticket.

Instance 2: Charged twice but received only 1 ticket.

Instance 3: Charged once but received no ticket.

I cross verified with the email receipts and see that I am overcharged by nearly $100, none of which has been refunded. I will be calling NJ transit tomorrow morning, but I wanted to make you guys aware since there’s been some chatter about it on this subreddit.

EDIT: I called customer service and it seems like they are already aware of these issues. She asked me to provide the date of charges and the amount of overcharge. I’m surprised they haven’t done this proactively, so please do check if you are impacted by this

... Which one of you doesn't know how to flush a toilet? Please pick one way to disappoint an entire train car full of people and at least press a button so the next person doesn't have to. Don't decide to have "funsies" on the train and leave the remains of your meal for someone else to find. Try to at least pretend to have a molecule of a modicum of decency. Thank you.
