NJ Transit Special Information for February 6, 2010

Quoted from the NJ Transit website

"To give customers additional travel options during expected winter weather conditions, NJ TRANSIT will offer full systemwide cross-honoring all day on Saturday, February 6, enabling NJ TRANSIT customers to use their ticket or pass on an alternate travel mode—rail, bus or light rail.  For example, customers who normally take the bus from Rutherford to the Port Authority Bus Terminal may use their bus pass on the train from Rutherford to New York Penn Station.  Similarly, customers who normally take the bus between Atlantic City and Lindenwold may use the train instead.     In addition, indoor waiting rooms at outlying rail stations will remain open throughout the weekend to provide customers with shelter during the storm.  Outlying station buildings are normally closed on weekends."
