Rail and bus service changes for Tuesday
What we know:
Most NJ TRANSIT rail lines, except the Atlantic City Rail Line, will operate on a Presidents’ Day schedule.
Service on the Morristown, Gladstone and Montclair-Boonton lines will be diverted to Hoboken, with cross-honoring available on PATH, NY Waterway Ferry and NJ TRANSIT 126 bus.
The Atlantic City Rail Line will run on a regular weekday schedule.
The Pascack Valley, Main-Bergen and Port Jervis lines will also follow a Presidents’ Day schedule.
Trains on the Northeast Corridor will run between Trenton and Metropark, then express to Newark Penn Station, skipping local stops between Metropark and Newark.
North Jersey Coast Line and Raritan Valley Line service will remain suspended until Amtrak completes snow removal.
Bus, Light Rail and Access Link will operate on regular weekday schedules, but customers should be ready for possible delays, detours or cancellations depending on road conditions.
NJ TRANSIT’s Emergency Operations Center is monitoring the situation, and key personnel are in the field to respond to any impacts.
These changes could affect thousands of daily commuters across New Jersey and the region.
