It appears there was a fatal crash on RT-440 in Jersey City last night, according to NJSP. Don’t have any details at the moment. This would be the 4th fatal crash in Hudson County this week, and all of them have been on state highways. 440, 1&9, Turnpike and 280. crashes.hudcostreets.org/c/hudson

NJ Transit fares went up 3% this year ... again. That's why we're joining the NJ Fair Fares Coalition to advocate for a reduced fare program — low-income New Jerseyans deserve transit they can afford. https://bit.ly/4xbhGw5
NJ Transit low-income riders need fare discounts, advocates say | NJ Spotlight News
By poverty measures, nearly 2 million New Jersey residents would qualify for the 50% reduction that New York City offers

Earlier this month, yet another serious preventable crash happened on our city streets. SafeStreetsJC releases the following statement calling for rapid, low-cost quick-build improvements to all our serious and fatal crash locations, including left-turn calming and leading pedestrian intervals.
Official Page for the City of Jersey City@jerseycitynj.bsky.social · 2w agoMayor James Solomon: This morning a pedestrian was struck by a car at Montgomery & Barrow - leaving them in critical condition. My heart goes out to the victim and their family, and I want to reiterate that the only acceptable number of injuries or fatalities on Jersey City streets is zero.
2nd fatal crash this weekend in Hudson County. This one on 280 in Harrison. Driver lost control of the vehicle and the passenger died as a result. Both crashes this weekend in Hudson County have occurred on our very dangerous state highways longisland.news12.com/2026/08/16/2...

If you book a weekend trip w/ Amtrak 40 days in advance (Philly to NYC), these are your morning prices. $68 is too much. This is bad. Run more trains.
The City Council will not call on state legislators to pass an e-bike licensing bill akin to the one now in effect in New Jersey, where the messy rollout is causing issues for cyclists. buff.ly/TF1NuPG

This piece has a significant factual issue running through it, from the headline to the final sentence. I want to flag it in case a correction or clarification can be made. Specifically, the vehicle described in this story IS NOT AN E-BIKE.
@customeradvocate.bsky.social without zooming, can you see which bus I'm waiting for? The font NJ transit uses for bus numbers is only readable for ppl already at the stop. Can we start printing the numbers bigger so someone going by in a car can see which bus they could take next time?
They got a better PATH. Now transit advocates in Jersey City want a better light rail. gothamist.com/news/better-...
Better light rail in North Jersey? Hopeful advocates have a plan.
They hope momentum from the successful "A Better PATH" campaign can continue into changes for light rail.

Another morning, another broken HBLR train and no app updates. Countdown clocks at LSP are also still whited out and broken. @customeradvocate.bsky.social
HBLR never explained their horrible July 4th service. HBLR gives zero transparency for their maintenance decisions. Why are they doing it in peak ridership season? How long will it continue? What work will be done when? How will they minimize disruption?
Oh this is nice they have the Hoboken-WTC service on the weekends. They rotate every 10 min with the Newark trains. That means service every 10 for Exchange Pl to the city. Thanks to the hard work of the @hudcostreets.org activists.
Whether you’re commuting to work, heading to school, running errands, or going to a doctor’s appointment, residents deserve frequent, dependable service they can count on. Thank you to @Gothamist.com & @WNYC.org for highlighting this important campaign! Read more: gothamist.com/news/better-...

Life doesn’t only happen during rush hour. Earlier this week, I joined @HudCoStreets.org to canvass for A Better Light Rail because reliable transit matters at every hour of the day.
The new NJ Transit app was criticized for inaccurate information and features that didn’t work as well as they did on the old app www.nj.com/news/2026/07...

Eleana Little@eleanalittle.bsky.social · 4w agoI’m joining @HudCoStreets this Wednesday to canvass for A Better Light Rail! They’re calling for more frequent service, with trains running every 10 minutes, and for extensions to Bayfront AND Bergen County, so the Hudson Bergen Light Rail can finally live up to its name.
30 min headways on weekends is not a serious transit system. We need frequent 10 min headways. Sign the @hudcostreets.org petition for better light rail service! hudcostreets.org/hblr/action
A pathetic embarrassment they should make every single person involved feel a deep sense of shame. Sign the petition. hudcostreets.org/hblr

Still seeing mass fare evasion at Exchange Place. 1 person goes through the wide gate, and 50 people follow. Main difference now is it doesn't get stuck for the rest of the day.
As we’ve seen with the PATH, increase weekend service and the riders will come. It’s time to improve service on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail and look for opportunities for further expansion. Take action here: hudcostreets.org/hblr www.nj.com/news/2026/07...
Push is on to expand commuter rail service in this overcrowded part of N.J.
The group that won more frequent PATH train service has set its sights on Hudson Bergen Light Rail, circulation petitions asking NJ Transit for more trains and future expansion.
