Customer Notice

MTA Strike May Cause Heavier Than Normal Crowds on NJ TRANSIT Trains and Buses

MTA New York City subway and bus service is not operating as a result of the work stoppage effective Tuesday morning . We have deployed additional Customer Service Representatives at Newark Penn Station, Hoboken Terminal, Penn Station New York, and the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Please review the following customer impacts.

Customer Impacts:

• NJ TRANSIT train service into and out of Penn Station New York may be minimally impacted due to congestion.
• Expect heavier than normal crowds, and allow yourself extra travel time as you enter and exit the station.
• The Long Island Rail Road entrance on 34th Street and 7th Avenue at Penn Station will be closed to NJ TRANSIT customers during a strike. All other entrances will be open.
• The Hilton passage way, which connects the subway and Penn Station, will be closed in the event of a subway strike.
• To provide customers with additional travel flexibility, NJ TRANSIT ticket holders may use their ticket or pass on any NJ TRANSIT mode including bus, rail, and light rail.

Again, we anticipate minimal customer inconvenience during the MTA strike. We appreciate your patience at this time.

If you have any questions, please call our Customer Service Office at 1-800-772-2222.
