NJT Will Pay During Convention Confusion

NJ Transit will likely foot the bill for free PATH trips that will be offered to train riders during the Republican National Convention and associated disruptions at Penn Station. One third of NYC-bound NJ Transit trains during the convention will be re-routed to Hoboken, requiring the PATH switch. NJ Transit will reportedly reimburse PATH for the “free” trips, but will not seek payment from convention organizers. Transit is considering the convention as a special circumstance or event.
