A Tale of Two Systems

Submitted by boaster on Thu, 09/24/2009 - 11:21am

Recently, I had the opportunity to ride New Jersey Transit trains into New York City for a week. Here are my observations based on this (admittedly) limited experience.

NJ Transit Trains were newer and much cleaner than BART. They were double-decker trains, plastic/cloth seats, and every person got a seat even during rush hour. The trains had overhead racks for storing luggage and backpacks.

The fare was $15 round trip for a distance roughly equal to Pleasanton to SF ($12 round trip). A monthly pass would have made this cheaper.
