FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. How do I ride a NJ TRANSIT bus?
In urban areas, bus stops are usually marked by bus stop signs. Signs may list the route numbers of the buses stopping at that location. Be sure to check the route and destination of the bus you want to take on both the bus stop sign and on the bus.

You may hail a bus at these locations along the designated bus route. In rural and suburban areas, where stops may not be marked, you can board a bus anywhere along the route if it is safe for the bus to stop. To hail a bus, simply signal to the driver as the bus approaches. When you board, tell the driver where you are going and deposit the required fare.

Most local buses require exact change in coins or $1 bills. The bus driver does not carry money and cannot make change! When you are near your exit stop, alert the bus driver by pressing the signal tape above and between the side window.

2. How do I read a timetable?
Choose your direction of travel and look at the section of the schedule for either weekdays (Monday thru Friday) or weekends (Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays)

Find the location you are starting from on the timetable.
Bus timetables: "Time points" listed represent the major stops. Buses also stop at locations along the route that are between the time points.
Train timetables: Every station is listed, but trains will only stop at a station when a time is listed. If the space is blank, that particular train will not make that station stop.
Choose the start time of your trip. On NJ TRANSIT bus and PATCO Hi-Speedline timetables, read down. On NJ TRANSIT, SEPTA, and Amtrak train timetables, read across. Continue to your destination. The trip's arrival time will be noted.

Be sure to read for any special symbols or footnotes! They give important information about your bus route or train line
