The one-millionth customer is expected to arrive at the station Friday morning and will be greeted by local, state and NJ TRANSIT officials. He or she will receive “15-minutes of River LINE fame” – that is, publicity in honor of the light rail’s 15-minute rush hour service – as well as a basket filled with gift certificates from local merchants, NJ TRANSIT collectible items and a River LINE monthly pass.

River LINE ridership now averages roughly 5,400 passenger trips per week, up 64 percent from its first week of service in March.
