NJ TRANSIT Pilots New Reloadable Contactless FARE-PAY Cards for Newark Light Rail
.jpg)
“FARE-PAY” is the new, smarter way to pay for your NJ TRANSIT trip.
Beginning September 19, customers may also load a monthly pass, 10-trip ticket or cash value on the reuseable FARE-PAY card on any bus, or light rail location across the state. Just 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.
To use your FARE-PAY card with value or a 10-trip for travel on Newark Light Rail simply tap your FARE-PAY card at the platform validator. Use a monthly pass stored to your FARE-PAY card just as you do now when traveling Newark Light Rail. When requested by the Fare Inspector simply tap the card on the inspector validation reader.
Plus, you can register your FARE-PAY card for added benefits including protection from loss and 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.
