NJ TRANSIT
Many NJ TRANSIT buses are lift-equipped and
are marked on the schedule with a “W.” Some
routes require a reservation for a lift-equipped bus
to allow a person using a mobility device to board.
Call (800) 772-2287 (same number for TTY) for a
reservation. Kneeling buses allow the front step
to be lowered and are marked with a “KNEELING
BUS” decal.
NJ TRANSIT’s Reduced Fare Program is for
senior citizens 62 and older and passengers
with disabilities. Senior citizens and persons
with disabilities get the reduced fare by showing
their valid NJ TRANSIT Reduced Fare ID/Card,
Medicare card or other valid form of identification.
Applications for the NJ TRANSIT Reduced Fare
ID/Card can be found at most local banks, savings
and loan associations or county Offices of Aging,
or by calling NJ TRANSIT at 973-378-6401.
