Summer of Hell: NJ Transit commute

Longer commutes on New Jersey are due to the massive repair work Amtrak is doing on Penn Station tracks used by the Morris and Essex NJ Transit lines. An official said about 8,700 extra riders came through the Hoboken terminal Monday. Commuters are urged to take a PATH train or ferry to Hoboken and then hop on another train home. They can also take a bus directly from Port Authority in Manhattan to New Jersey.
