We are 70 days from the next NJ Transit fare increase. NJ Transit hasn’t held a fare hearing in over two years, even though the 2018 NJ Transit reform law requires 10 public hearings “before implementing any fare increase.” Petition to change this: change.org/njtransit26

Remember that you can call in and comment at tonight’s NJ Transit board meeting. They’re set to approve another fare increase. 1-800-346-7359 Conference entry code: 701939 *1 to enter the queue

Petition - Make NJ Transit Follow the Law: Demand Public Hearings on Fare Increases Change.org/njtransit26 #njtransit

Back at Hoboken Terminal until 7pm! Njtransit.com/portalcutover

Don’t forget that Murphy signed a 2018 NJ Transit reform law that requires NJ Transit to hold 10 public hearings "before implementing any fare increase,” but failed to make NJ Transit follow the law last year. See N.J.S.A. 27:25-8(d)(2). Call @mikiesherrill.bsky.social ’s office & demand hearings!

Good afternoon! I’m at Secaucus Junction with NJ TRANSIT ambassadors sharing info about the Portal Bridge Cutover and what it means for your commute. I’ll be here until 7pm to answer questions and hear your feedback. ℹ️Learn more at njtransit.com/portalcutover.

🛎️ Tomorrow, I'm bringing your December feedback from the online form and social media to the Operations & Customer Service Committee. Join us January 30 at 9:00 AM for updates. Here are the key topics you raised 👇

At Bloomfield Station for the morning rush! Stop by, say hi, and share your feedback. You can’t miss the yellow jacket 👋🟡

👋 Hey bus riders! NJ TRANSIT is testing two different e-ink screen solutions that could be used as information signs at bus stops in the future. Both would display & announce real-time departure times & service alerts. Your feedback would be appreciated—take a look🧵👇

Happy New Year everyone! 🎉 In 2026, I’ll continue working on passenger experience improvements while expanding customer engagement. This starts on 9/1, when I’ll be at Trenton Transit Center from 6–10am to hear your feedback in person.

“The last time NJ Transit provided data about how many miles each type of locomotive and rail car traveled between failures was in November 2021.” @NJTransit_CA, can we get Rail Operations to start publishing this data each quarter, like it used to? www.nj.com/news/2025/12...

⚠️🚆 Hey NJ TRANSIT Morris & Essex and Montclair riders — Your trains will continue to originate and terminate at Hoboken Terminal through the end of service today. Please expect delays due to congestion. Repairs on the switch are ongoing, and we expect regular service to resume tomorrow.

NJ Transit, union spar over allegations, this is first time I've ever been about to use "farkakteh" in a direct quote www.nj.com/news/2025/11...

Good morning folks! 👋 I’ll be at Summit Station until 9:00 AM — come say hi!

Hello, Bluesky! 👋 For my first post, I’d like to highlight the next NJ TRANSIT Customer Listening Forum. Our Rail, Bus, and Light Rail teams will be at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia starting at 4:00 PM on October 21st to collect feedback and comments from passengers. Spread the word! 🚆🚌🚋💬

What the hell is happening with NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Line service today? How is there no westbound service between Metropark and Trenton from at least 11 AM to 2 PM? @commutinglarry.bsky.social @colleenonthescene.bsky.social

Did NJ Transit retire these locomotives too soon? The feds think so and dunned NJT $27.5 million from it next grant for doing so. www.nj.com/news/2025/09...

This is a devastating blow for New Jersey. In a state torn between two major media markets (NYC and Philadelphia), NJPBS provides a vital service and coherent coverage on vital local affairs. The Legislature has a duty to step in and help save that coverage.

Four more NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Line cancelations, including three crew availability cancelations, have been announced since my initial post ≈ 45 mins ago. Not a great start to the week, NJ Transit.

Engineer availability issues once again plaguing NJ Transit on the day after a Meadowlands event. Riders need NJ Transit to offer greater transparency and a detailed plan to fix this.

"NJ Transit reported 634 cancellations due to mechanical issues over the three-month period, the highest number under any year since Murphy took office in 2018. This summer, they rose for the third consecutive year." -- newjerseymonitor.com/2025/09/17/m...

Mechanical, equipment failures drive NJ Transit’s summer train cancellations newjerseymonitor.com/2025/09/17/m...

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.

@govmurphy.bsky.social, Mr. “I’ll fix NJ Transit if it kills me,” was unable to avoid a NJ Transit engineer strike in 2025, while transit-unfriendly @ChrisChristie was able to avoid one in 2016. Let that sink in, folks.

“All of these precautions have kept me safe. In contrast, almost all my colleagues have had COVID at least once—some multiple times. Some even have Long COVID.” Mitigations work! Repeat infections are not inevitable. Grateful to the HCWs still masking & protecting themselves and their patients

Workers in a small rural town in Arida, Japan, built a new 3D-printed train station overnight, in what the railway’s operators say is a world first. Here's how they did it in six hours. nyti.ms/4ju9Bvj

Begging folks to stop referring to the pandemic in the past tense. It’s still “during COVID”. The pandemic isn’t over just because you want it to be. We have no sterilizing vaccine. No treatment or cure for Long Covid. People are still dying & becoming disabled every day because we refuse to adapt

Canadian airlines are eliminating tens of thousands of seats to the U.S. this April, while industry data shows that bookings have declined significantly.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor advocated for a “fearlessly independent” judiciary during remarks Friday, telling an audience in Washington that she is worried about “standards that are being changed.”

Time is running out to fight the New York mask ban! Governor Hochul is trying to sneak it into the budget, and once again folks are claiming it’s “fine” because there’s a medical exemption. These bans criminalize masks. Including medical masks like N95s. Medical exemptions are NOT the answer:

UPDATE: DC appellate panel rules 2-1 to temp deny the Trump Admin's request to resume controversial deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. Legal experts in NJ worry the Admin's rush to deport immigrants could plunge the US into a constitutional crisis. www.njspotlightnews.org/video/critic...

Outrageous. “Savings” at the expense of allowing people to suffer.

SINKHOLE UPDATE: Rt 287 in Parsippany-Troy Hills (caused by a broken pipe) will be reopened Monday "hopefully in time for the morning commute," says @govmurphy.bsky.social. As for Rt 80 sinkholes (caused by old mine shafts)--repairs could take months. See NJDOT updates: dot.nj.gov/transportati...

A NJ nurse who got Covid in the pandemic's first days has found a novel way to return to work...despite flareups of pain and fatigue. As researchers explore lingering Covid impacts in the brain, nerves, lungs and more--many folks still suffering long Covid symptoms struggle on the job and at home.

A Texas lawsuit including 17 red States is attempting to remove Section 504, a critical disability protection “It prohibits discrimination based on disability in programs & activities that receive federal funding” If successful this will be a major blow to disabled rights, accessibility & autonomy

Heads up. Sinkhole closes Rt 80 in BOTH DIRECTIONS From @northjerseynews.bsky.social www.northjersey.com/story/news/m...
