Just in time for the final public hearings on Thursday, we created an easy-to-use calculator where you can find out just by how much your fare will go up — if NJ Transit’s 9 percent fare hikes are enacted.
NJ Transit only made available the proposed fare increases for commuters going toNew York Penn Station, Hoboken and Newark Penn Station. That’s why the calculator only includes prices going to these three destinations.
The interactive will let you know just how much a one-way, round-trip, reduced and monthly passes would cost, as well as how much more you’d pay a year if you buy the monthly pass.
FROM

New York Penn Station
One way $9.25 $9.75 +5.4%

Round Trip $18.50 $19.50 +5.4%
Monthly $273.00 $298.00 +9.2%
Unions want to raise our taxes, too
Nice to see there is no one else to blame.
$300 annual commuter fee increase plus my higher property taxes. And the Dems want to raise my gasoline taxes, too, by 25c a gallinn to pay for what else exactly? Gross mismanagement and corruption is behind all of these effective taxes on private sector workers commuting to NYZc to pay for public sector greed
In the end taxpayers bear the brunt of all of the incompetence
