New Jersey Transit to resume bus and rail services Tuesday morning
New Jersey Transit is preparing to restore bus and rail operations Tuesday morning, though officials caution that riders should expect modified service and potential delays. The announcement was made Monday evening by agency President and CEO Kris Kolluri, who outlined the phased return plan for commuters across the state. According to Kolluri, bus services are scheduled to begin running at 4 a.m. Tuesday. However, normal routing may not be fully in place, as some detours and delays could occur depending on overnight road conditions. TransitNJ officials are urging passengers to allow extra travel time during the morning commute and to monitor real-time updates before departing. Rail operations are expected to resume an hour later, beginning at 5 a.m., but the full network restoration depends on ongoing infrastructure work. Amtrak crews are working overnight on critical switch repairs within shared rail corridors. Kolluri noted that if the Amtrak work is not completed on schedule, certain lines may face continued disruptions. Specifically, the Raritan Valley Line and the North Jersey Coast Line could remain suspended, and the Northeast Corridor Line may be unable to make some local stops. Even where trains resume service, riders should anticipate a reduced timetable. Officials confirmed that all rail routes will operate under a modified weekend schedule for the time being. This temporary measure is intended to stabilize operations while crews complete remaining repairs and assess system conditions. Transit authorities emphasized that safety and reliability remain the top priorities as service gradually returns. Commuters across New Jersey are advised to check official travel alerts frequently and plan ahead for possible changes during the first day of resumed operations.
