NJ Transit price increase: How much more you'll pay starting today

Train and bus ticket fares for NJ Transit are going up starting today. Here's how much more you'll be paying.

According to New Jersey Transit, rail maintenance crews are working around the clock to make necessary repairs and restore impacted equipment. 

Last week, service on the North Jersey Coast Line was suspended in both directions because of a signal issue that prevented the bridge from closing all the way. 

Before that, commuters were left stranded going to and from Penn Station New York after back-to-back days of cancelations by NJ Transit and Amtrak.
