NJ
Transit launches new Midtown Direct service
On September 30 Governor Jim McGreevey and I announced
the opening of a MidTOWN DIRECT service on the Montclair-Boonton
Line. The new Montclair Connection will save half an
hour each day for more than 4,000 NJ TRANSIT customers
by providing a direct access to Manhattan during peak
and off-peak hours.
This
service benefits more than just NJ TRANSIT riders. MidTOWN
DIRECT will also reduce congestion on roads leading
into New York City by an estimated 1,000 cars a day.
The opening of the Montclair Connection highlights our
efforts to provide a mass transit system that is convenient
and efficient.
New
Jersey commuters enjoy new East
Concourse at NY Penn
Station
With the opening of the 7th Avenue East End Concourse
in Manhattan, NJ TRANSIT has a new home in New York
Penn Station.
As
of Monday, September 23, 2002, the 60,000 New Jersey
customers passing through New York Penn Station will
have their own waiting area, ticket windows and platform
announcement board.
The
opening of the East End Concourse alleviates the chaos
of the former location in New York Penn Station for
our customers while providing the quality of service
mass transit requires.
If
we want people to leave their cars at home, we must
make it a welcome option. This attractive and convenient
new concourse demonstrates our commitment to achieving
that goal. |
