TRENTON - New Jersey Transit is offering free rides to all active-duty and former military members on Veterans Day.

What we know:

All active and retired military members can grab a free ride on NJ Transit trains, buses, and light rail services on Veterans Day.

What you will need

There are several Military IDs riders can use to ride for free on Tuesday:

  • Military ID card (active or retired)

The backstory:

Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day, was a holiday first established by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919, marking the one-year anniversary of the end of World War I. The armistice, signed between the Allies and Germany, took effect on the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" in 1918, symbolizing a hopeful end to end the war, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
