“FARE-PAY” is the new, smarter way to pay for your NJ TRANSIT trip.
Beginning September 19, customers may load a monthly pass on the reusable FARE-PAY card for travel on any NJ TRANSIT bus or light rail. The option to load NJ TRANSIT 10-trip tickets or cash value to a card begins October 1.
When buying your ticket from any TVM, select "New FARE-PAY Card" to load your purchased product or cash value to get the reloadable card for free. Then, tap your FARE-PAY card at light rail station validators, or on-board NJ TRANSIT buses, no paper ticket or exact change required! Bus customers should inform the operator of their discount status and destination when boarding to ensure the proper fare is charged.
Plus, you can register your FARE-PAY card for added benefits, including protection from loss or theft, by transferring tickets or value from any registered card to a brand-new FARE-PAY card. Or, registering your FARE-PAY card to automatically apply the Newark Light Rail underground fare or senior and disabled fare discounts.
Once all card value or tickets are used, reload it at one of the TVM locations and keep going. Visit njtransit.com/farepay to learn how to register your card for added benefits or for details and more information including answers to frequently asked questions.”
