Photo: NJ TRANSITNJ TRANSIT's FARE-PAY card is now available to customers traveling on all NJ TRANSIT buses statewide, as well as on the Newark Light Rail, the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, and the River LINE systems. However, the fare card is now extended to all NJ TRANSIT bus routes across New Jersey and all three light rail systems. Customers can tap their fare cards at the onboard validator while boarding their bus or at platform validating stations on the light rail systems. Purchasing a FARE-PAY card is optional, and customers can continue using the mobile app if desired.
