This is really helpful. I'm deciding to take a bus until I get a driver's license. I went on a bus once with my friend but nobody taught me how it works and so I was clueless. I appreciate the help on how it works to make it easy for me to be confident. I just feel like I will be too stupid to the point I missed my destination and got lost lol

Great video! Depends on the garage the bus comes from because some are worse than others. The Ironbound Garage has some of the worst NJT buses I’ve ever seen, you know the buses that are on the 62. Also, those shorter buses are 2011-2012 NABI 31-LFWs and that 40 foot bus you were on is a 2012 NABI 40-SFW 416.15! Keep it up Drew! 😎

Also they have Reduced Fares for seniors over 62, and those with disabilities as you have to have either a NJ Transit Reduced Fare Card or Medicare Card you show that to the driver and you ride NJ Transit at reduced rates also reduced fares are also available for children ages 5-11, and active military personal as well (With military ID). I ride NJ Transit in the capital city of Trenton and have rode NJ Transit since 1992.

have u ever had a really bad experience while taking nj transit? i’ve never been on a bus before and yesterday i finally went on one and it was an absolute terrible experience. i had no idea the people get out of the bus first, i assumed it was a simultaneous thing. people are going in and out at the same time. so the guy yelled at me saying “wait wait wait.” i also had no idea what the fare was because on the nj transit app it doesn’t say the fee. so i asked the guy what the fee was and he said where are you going and i said montclair. i didn’t want to hold him up so i asked if i could give him the money and he said i don’t care in an extremely rude tone. i got on a bus in clifton. i was the last person on the bus and he asked where i was going, i said montclair again, and he said that he doesn’t go to montclair. so i ended up being dropped off at some random place in little falls. google maps AND the maps app on iphone said to take that bus. maybe i just got unlucky lol

I just recently started taking the 76 to the 190 so basically 2 zones and I understand that but I feel like I’m using an extra ticket on a 1 way trip because of the transfer. I’m using the app for my tickets so I get on the 76, get off at Rutherford train station & take the 190 to Passaic. A lot of times these bus are late causing the active ticket to expire. When I get the on the first bus 76, am I able to ask for a paper transfer to get me onto the 190 so I don’t have to use another ticket? Hopefully my question made some sense. Thanks!

I'm new to taking the bus on my own, and I'm extremely nervous to do it alone for the first time, especially when looking up the maps on Google were so confusing because there's only a handful of stops on the schedule. But I have a question about other forms of how to pay fare. Is it possible for them to scan your phone through the app? Or does it always have to be a physical ticket or cash?

NJ Transit has E-tickets on the app and paper tickets for monthly passes other than that fares are always paid in cash.

@@drewr5119 I agree. My comment sounded more attacking than it did positive. I can assure you that I didn’t intend for it to be like that. I love the transit system both bus and train. I just meant that it won’t be quite as comfortable or stylish as an Amtrak train or Grey Hound bus. And I’ve been riding since the 80s so I’ve got some time under my belt.

US public transportations are just outdated and old but I guess it’s because most of people use cars in the states. Literally grey hound and amtrak are like 1990’s of South Korea. I remember being in shock when I first rode grey hound in 2008. I’ve never rode a bus where there are “4 seats” in a row since new millennium.
