Most people don’t even do that.

What’s more clutch is when I catch a bus transfer using the same ticket within the 30 minute window

Did something similar once.

Brought a 3-Zone Interstate off the app, activated it (valid for one hour).

Boarded a bus from Weehawken to NYC, went to an Arby's nearby, and still had plenty of time to catch the 119 home.

Worth the $4.50

Was going from the upper part of Weehawken to Bayonne, and decided to go via NYC because the interstate tickets are valid for a longer period of time.

The Arby's was an unintentional pit stop, but I still had time

Is this possible??

Sure. I do it when I’m taking the 10 to JSQ and then I’ll hop on the 33 if it’s there to take me down Bergen

yooo I do that occasionally too but now they might want us to start using the validation thingy on some of these buses 😭

Has this actually started? I’ve been taking buses in this state for 5 years, they only ever glance at the ticket on my phone.

I started to get a monthly pass, but I've seen some drivers on the #1 ask people to start using it. I've noticed people having a hard time using it though

I never would’ve thought NJ Transit would actually invest in its infrastructure. I’ve seen what look like ticket scanners for quite a while, I’ve never been asked to scan my ticket though.

I'm guilty of just buying one zone bus tickets

I’ve done this to meet a friend at the airport and get back on the bus with the same ticket on my phone
