Key Points

Portal Cutover adjustments continue for NJ Transit rail riders
While regular weekday schedules resume for most services, rail commuters will continue to see temporary adjustments tied to the ongoing Portal Bridge cutover project. Midtown Direct trains will be diverted to Hoboken Terminal instead of New York Penn Station.
To assist travelers, NJ Transit is cross-honoring rail tickets and passes on PATH trains to 33rd Street, NY Waterway ferries to Midtown/39th Street, and NJT Bus Route 126. The Atlantic City Rail Line will also operate on a weekday schedule, though buses will replace midday trains.
Regular operations for bus and light rail
NJ Transit’s Bus, Access Link, and Light Rail services are running on standard weekday timetables. Officials encouraged riders to check for updates before traveling, as minor adjustments may occur while the Portal project continues.
Commuters can find the full Portal Cutover schedule, alerts, and real-time updates through the NJ Transit app, My Transit Alerts, and the agency’s social media channels.
