Details of Rate Plan
December 13, 2001 

Here are highlights of New Jersey Transit's proposal to raise
most train and bus fares by about 10 percent on April 1: 

¶ Eliminate weekday rail round-trip excursion fares. This
would increase fares 44 percent to 89 percent. 

¶ Set a common rail fare - $3.30 one way - between Newark's
two train stations and New York. The current fares are
$2.50 between New York and Newark Pennsylvania Station and
$3 between New York and Broad Street. 

¶ Reduce the discount to 50 percent from 55 percent for
people 62 and older. 

¶ Raise the surcharge for buying tickets aboard trains to
$5 from $3. 

¶ Limit refunds to 10-trip and monthly passes. Currently
the refund policy extends to one-way tickets. 

¶ Combine one- and two- zone bus fares into one zone.
