Rail Service:

NJ TRANSIT sustained devastating damage to its rail infrastructure system-wide during Hurricane Sandy.  NJ TRANSIT anticipates it will take as long as 6 weeks to restore full service.  PATH service is still not running. 

NJ TRANSIT encourages customers to travel outside of the morning and afternoon peak periods to avoid delays and crowding.  Customers are also advised to allow additional travel time due to overcrowding and congestion.
