“I use NJ Transit to get to places around New Jersey, and with the annual fare hikes, by the time I graduate, getting home from college could cost me $50 just to see my family and friends.”

Tanisha G.
(Newark)

“Ideally, transit would be free for everyone because we can all use a break, but a Fair Fares program would provide relief for those who need it most.”

Gloria M.
(Newark)

“If transit in New Jersey could be more affordable, it’d open up opportunities for employment, education, and just your whole livelihood.”

Anthony L.
(Brigantine)

“The lack of transit in South Jersey is a barrier that makes it hard to use. The further south in the state you go, the less access you have. There’s a need for NJ Transit to expand to reach more people statewide, and 3% increases every year doesn’t justify the service currently available.”
