NJ Transit customers on Wednesday faced another grueling commute, having to cope with fewer trains as a snow storm pulled away and the NJTransit.com website, which continued to malfunction, raising questions about whether the site would be ready for thousands of out-of-towners arriving next week for the Super Bowl.

These challenges come a day after NJ Transit’s website went down for more than three hours in the middle of a massive snow storm that sent commuters dashing for bus or train home. A spokesman initially said on Tuesday that the site was taken down for maintenance, but later said it went to down due to technical issues.

On Wednesday, rail riders who were able to access the site were greeted with the message: “Due to inclement weather, all NJ TRANSIT Rail Lines except the Atlantic City Line will operate on enhanced weekend schedule on Wednesday, January 22.”

THE RECORD

NJ Transit – without warning or explanation — took down its website in the middle of a swirling snowstorm poised to dump six to 12 inches on across the state on Tuesday afternoon, as customers were desperately trying to find their way home.

Those visiting NJTransit.com were met with the message:

“We are currently performing emergency maintenance on njtransit.com,” followed by a list of links to train schedule PDFs, and the automated customer service number: 973-275-5555.

Agency Spokesman John Durso, Jr. said the website was taken down for maintenance at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
