Newark, NJ – NJ Transit announced a full suspension of bus and rail operations Sunday as a powerful storm is expected to bring heavy snow, strong winds, and hazardous travel conditions across the state. Bus service will stop at 4 a.m., while all trains, including the RiverLINE, will shut down by 2 p.m., officials said Saturday night.
The suspension will also affect Access Link, NJ Transit’s paratransit service, which will remain offline until conditions improve and it is deemed safe to resume operations. Officials are urging passengers to stay home, avoid nonessential travel, and continue monitoring NJ Transit’s official social media accounts for real-time updates.
This temporary shutdown comes as New Jersey braces for rapidly deteriorating conditions, with forecasts calling for several inches of snow and strong gusts that could make plowing and travel nearly impossible during peak hours.
- NJ Transit buses stop running at 4 a.m. Sunday
- Rail and RiverLINE service suspended by 2 p.m.
- Access Link and all transit operations paused until further notice
Officials said crews are on standby to assess conditions once the storm passes and will restore limited service only when it is safe to do so.
