Riding the bus or rail will now cost you around 9% more.
The fare hike, officials said, was to close a $60 million budget gap.

Fare hike seems reasonable even at 9%. Its a bargain, particularly if you are a senior. I can get from Lakewood to Newark airport for about $5 in a comfortable bus or twice that using the train out of Pt Pleasant. I can’t get there by car for that and taxi/limo service is almost $100.
Just putting it out there – I’ve been using the frum Lakewood-midtown bus for the past few months without any issue. Leaves Lakewood at 7am and leaves midtown at 6pm. Davening on the bus. From what I understand there will not be any price change in the near future.
