Wyckoff NJ, the Jonas Brothers — Nick, Joe, and Kevin — have sold over 20 million albums, earned two Grammy nominations, and built a global fanbase with their signature mix of rock and funk. But New Jersey can proudly claim them as its own — the brothers grew up in Wyckoff and Little Falls.
Now, in honor of their Bergen County homecoming concert this Sunday at MetLife Stadium, NJ Transit has rebranded its Meadowlands rail line as the “Jonas Brothers Hometown Express.” This special service will transport fans directly from Secaucus Junction to MetLife Stadium during the event.
“Fans attending the Jonas Brothers concert can get there safely and conveniently using NJ Transit,” the agency said in a release. The rail line has recently handled massive crowds, including over 150,000 soccer fans for the FIFA Club World Cup.
The timing is perfect — the Jonas Brothers’ new album, Greetings From Your Hometown, drops this Friday.
How to Ride the Jonas Brothers Hometown Express
-
From New York City: There is no direct train from Penn Station to MetLife. Look for trains marked “SEC” to Secaucus Junction, then transfer to the Meadowlands line.
-
Tickets: Purchase a round-trip ticket from your origin station to Meadowlands Station (not “Jonas Express”) in advance to avoid boarding delays and a $5 surcharge.
-
Schedules: Special event schedules are available at njtransit.com/JonasBrothers.
Getting Home After the Concert
-
Trains will run every 15 minutes on a load-and-go basis until crowds thin out.
-
Some trains will run directly from Meadowlands to Hoboken; others require a Secaucus transfer.
-
Plan ahead by checking final train times from Secaucus to your destination.
Travel Tips for a Smooth Experience

Review MetLife Stadium’s bag policy at metlifestadium.com.

“Hometown” as a single word is an adjective. The album title should be “Greetings from Your Home Town.”
