Traveling by bus:

Use the new Tap & Ride option to pay your adult one-way fare on-board most NJ TRANSIT buses using contactless payment cards. As you board, tap your contactless credit or debit card on the on-board validator. Provide the number of zones you wish to travel to the bus operator for the proper fare.

If you have a larger item with you, ask the bus operator for assistance with unlocking the storage compartment.
