NJ Transit is raising the fares at some of its Pascack Valley, Main and Bergen County line stations.
NJ Transit is raising the fares at 16 of its train stations March 1, according to an advisory posted on their website. The increase will affect all rides from the Mahwah train station, as well as other stations on the Main/Bergen Line, as well as the Pascack Valley Line. A single ride to Hoboken from Mahwah will cost $10.25 and a single ride to Penn Station will cost $13. A full fare chart is available on the NJ Transit website here. The increase is coming because of a rate increase on Metro-North trains.

Look for a billboard that looks like a supermarket aisle at the Mahwah train station

Dear Editor, One area of town that stands as a constant reminder to me of 9/11 is the Mahwah Train Station. On 9/11, I was in Manhattan. My wife (who was my fiancee at the time), was forced to sit and wait at the Mahwah Train Station, hoping that I would eventually be getting off of one of the Northbound trains. I managed to make it out of Manhattan via the PATH train at dusk. When I got to Hoboken I sat on the waterfront briefly staring at the smoke rising from Ground Zero. I remember the burning odor in the air like it was yesterday. NJ Transit loaded us onto trains and would then move the trains out once they were filled. Folks from Ground Zero were getting on the trains in their underwear. Women were getting on with bloody feet and …

I am so with you! NJTransit seems to add the cost of their incompetence to your fare every year! Its like a stupid tax we pay for their horrific management. Didn't they just hire some $100,000+ "Deputy Director" or some such bureaucratic nonsense? They can't figure out how to tack a car or two on to trains that are standing room end-to-end, so they hire someone else for 6 figures and see if they … more ›
