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.”
