Go back to see more maps of New Jersey U.S. NJ Transit declined requests to make its technology officials available for an interview. This map shows PATH, trains, light rail lines and stations in New Jersey. “By leveraging those investments, we are putting more information into the hands of our customers and empowering them to make informed decisions on their travel plans.” “The investments we have been making in technology over the past two years are showing tangible improvements to the customer experience,” William Viqueira, NJ Transit’s chief financial officer, said in a press release. The ridership level on buses will also be automatically updated, officials said, and riders will see a green, yellow or red indicator on their app signaling much space each given bus or train has. For now, NJ Transit rail riders who download the agency’s travel app can voluntarily share how crowded they think their train is - light, medium or heavy ridership - through a crowdsourcing option on the app, though officials say that will eventually be phased out in favor of using handheld ticket validation devices to update the crowd level. The new feature is designed to help riders avoid waiting for overcrowded vehicles, potentially reducing the spread of COVID-19 in the process. Riders of New Jersey Transit, the country’s third-largest public transit system, will now able to tell how crowded an incoming bus or train is before it arrives, with a new tool that was added to the agency’s mobile app on Monday.
