How NJ Transit rail fares work

NJ Transit prices a rail ticket on the distance between your origin and destination. The fare is the same on every train: there is no peak surcharge and no off-peak discount, so the one-way price shown here is the price at 8 AM on a Tuesday and at noon on a Sunday. The zone numbers that appear in NJ Transit's own data are internal identifiers, not something printed on a ticket, so this site does not show them.

One-way, round-trip, ten-trip, weekly and monthly tickets are sold in the NJ Transit app and at station ticket machines. If a machine was available where you boarded, buying on board costs extra. Children under five ride free with a fare-paying adult, older children and seniors ride at a reduced rate, and disabled riders ride at a reduced rate with the relevant ID.

Where this site has no fare for an NJ Transit pair, it is because that fare has not yet been loaded from the timetable it is printed in, not because the trip is free. The fare tables are read from NJ Transit's published line timetables, and every value is checked against the operator's own price ratios before it is shown.
