New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy made the announcement on Good Day New York earlier this month, saying the fare waiver was in response to the ongoing service disruptions commuters have faced throughout the summer.
Murphy says the holiday is “a way to express her sincere appreciation for customers’ continued loyalty and support,” especially at a time when “local transit has not always met their – or their own – expectations.”
