新泽西交通公司提高了3%的票价,引发了对资金需求与骑车者影响的辩论。 New Jersey Transit raises fares by 3%, sparking debate over financial needs vs. impact on riders.

从7月1日起,新泽西岛交通社(NJT)将票价提高3%, 以弥补1.06亿美元的预算缺口, 基本票价现为公交车和轻型铁路180美元, Effective July 1, New Jersey Transit (NJT) raised fares by 3% to help cover a $106 million budget gap, with base fares now $1.80 for bus and light rail, and $1.70 for rail travel. 增加资金的目的是为国家司法小组32亿美元的预算再筹集3 300万美元。 The increase aims to generate $33 million more for NJT's $3.2 billion budget. 然而,一项州参议院法案和三州交通运动正在敦促骑手反对登山,认为这不公平地影响了工作家庭。 However, a state senate bill and the Tri-State Transportation Campaign are urging riders to oppose the hike, arguing it unfairly impacts working families.
