Light Rail Fare System
The Light Rail operates on a “proof of purchase”system in which riders must present their tickets upon request during random checks. Passengers purchase tickets at NJ Transit ticket vending machines. One-way and ten-trip tickets must be validated at automated Validators located near the ticket vending machines prior to boarding. The Validator will date and time stamp the ticket for 90 minutes of use. Fare inspectors perform random ticket inspections on vehicles and at stations. The fine for fare evasion on the Light Rail is $100.
