This week marked a shift in how NJ Transit handles fares. "It's part of our ongoing commitment to modernize and enhance the everyday experience for those who rely on NJ Transit." "At the moment, NJ Transit buses are exact change," Joshua Leinsdorf, an Atlantic Highlands bus rider, said per APP.com. Buses see 138.7 million trips, trains carry 59.3 million, while light rail moves 21.6 million riders. Before the full launch, NJ Transit tested Fare-Pay last April.
