Opinion | NJ Transit’s free travel week has critics, but should encourage exploration of New Jersey

Governor Phil Murphy announced a transit holiday for all NJ Transit modes of travel, train, light rail and bus from August 26 through September 2, should inspire Trenton residents to make plans for a major getaway.

During the one week appreciation display for customers’ loyalty despite service described as less than ideal, riders can board NJ Transit without needing to purchase or present tickets.

“Understanding that our commuters have faced many disruptions this summer, we are providing a one-week fare holiday for NJ TRANSIT riders,” said Governor Murphy last week. “As we work diligently with Amtrak to investigate and address the issues that have occurred this summer, especially on the Northeast Corridor, we hope this fare holiday offers our commuters some relief. We also encourage New Jerseyans to take advantage of this opportunity, and we continue to be thankful to the many New Jerseyans who depend on public transit.”

Trenton residents and many other Garden State travelers will undoubtedly consider New York City as a free primary destination. We just spent $56 on Sunday for two round-trip tickets to the Big Apple. By the way, kudos to organizers of the NYC India Parade which delivered a spectacular event.

Monies saved for a train trip to NYC will cover costs for a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Another option could mean lunch during a day in Central Park or savings could offset tickets for a Broadway show.

Atlantic City seems like a perfect getaway destination as Trenton area residents can board the River Line Light Rail train leaving from the Trenton Transit Center. Exit at Pennsauken then board the Atlantic City Rail Line to the beach. Trains leave every two hours for Atlantic City. The River Line runs from Trenton to Camden. It, too, faced difficulties that included cancellations and delays.

Many Atlantic City hotels offer significantly reduced room rates from Sunday to Thursday. A couple of days at the shore could be the perfect getaway. Dollars saved on travel could help pay for dinner or Happy Hour costs at Dock’s Oyster House. This upscale seafood restaurant opened in 1897. Located at 2405 Atlantic Ave., one visit will produce certain return.

Of course, Murphy’s freebie cultivated significant pushback, especially from critics who noted that a week of free travel hardly compensates NJ Transit riders for months of troubled travel.

Michele Siekerka, president and CEO of the New Jersey Business & Industry Association, said in a statement Thursday that the fare holiday “smacks of unfairness to New Jersey’s business community.”

“Providing this fare holiday on the heels of a massive corporate tax increase to support the budget woes for NJ Transit is a frustrating message and wholly disregards the latest hit our business community just took on competitiveness,” Siekerka said.

The fare holiday is expected to cost the state $19 million, NJ Transit spokesman John Chartier said. Free travel arrives six weeks after NJ Transit raised fares by as much as 15-percent to offset a budget shortfall. If money can improve service and operations, then an approved business surtax in June by state legislators could generate an estimated $1 billion to improve travel.

Never mind about that. Let Murphy, business leaders and others debate this free initiative. Residents should take advantage of the gratis as the gift lasts only one week.

Florida man hired pair to carry out acid attack on ex-girlfriend, prosecutors say

A 49-year-old Florida man hired and paid a man and a woman to travel to New Jersey to carry out an acid attack on a woman with whom he had had a prior relationship, authorities said.

William DiBernardino, of Boynton Beach, was arrested last week in Florida, along with the pair he hired, Betty Jo Lane, 38, and Jmarr McNeil, 39, both of Jacksonville, in connection with the July 26 attack, the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office in New Jersey said.

All three waived extradition and are jailed in Florida until they can be taken to New Jersey, the prosecutor’s office said.

They are charged with conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, stalking and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. It was not immediately clear whether they had attorneys or where they are jailed. The Monroe Police Department did not immediately reply to requests for comment.

Tom Gilbert, the acting chief of detectives for the prosecutor’s office, said the woman’s relationship with DiBernardino ended within the last year in a way authorities suspect “he was unhappy with.”

“We’re very confident he enlisted these people to carry out his wishes, and clearly they did, and that’s why all three of them are charged,” Gilbert said in a telephone interview Thursday.

The attack occurred last month, after the 42-year-old woman returned home from work in Monroe Township, in southern New Jersey, and parked in her driveway, the prosecutor’s office said. As she opened her car door, she was approached by a woman who threw a cup containing “a highly caustic acid” directly at her, according to prosecutors. She sustained chemical burns over 35% of her body and was airlifted to a burn center where she is still being treated.

The woman who threw the acid fled in a vehicle that was later determined to have been rented in Florida, prosecutors said.

Members of the Monroe Police Department and the prosecutor’s office traveled to Florida, where they were assisted in the investigation by the Boynton Beach Police Department, Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, Fort Pierce Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service, among other agencies.

Travel Hints

About Your Passport:

All travelers: Please keep your passport with you at all times while traveling – do not pack it in your checked bag. It is wise to have a photocopy of the picture page of your passport and extra passport photos with you while traveling (store them separately from your passport). These items will help to expedite the replacement process should your passport be lost while you are abroad. If your passport is lost during your trip, please immediately notify your tour manager and contact the nearest U.S. Consulate for instructions on how to proceed.

U.S. Citizens: Your passport must be valid for 6 months after your scheduled return date.

Non-U.S. Citizens: You must carry a valid passport issued by your country of citizenship. To re-enter the United States you will need to present your Green Card to Customs officials at your point of entry.   It is imperative that you notify TWT if you are traveling with a passport issued by a country other than the U.S. It is your responsibility to check with the consulate of each country included in the tour program regarding entrance requirements for citizens of your country. Individual visas may be required. Obtaining the appropriate visa(s) is the responsibility of the traveler, and the process can take up to 6 weeks. Please plan ahead!

In Case of Emergencies:

Your final document packet contains two copies of your itinerary and hotel contact list. The phone and fax numbers on the hotel list are written exactly the way that you would dial them from the USA. If there is an emergency and someone needs to reach you during your trip, they should contact the hotel directly.

About Your Luggage:

Each traveler is allowed one checked bag and one carry-on bag per person. The combined total dimensions (length + width + height) of your checked bag must be 62 inches or less, and the bag must weigh no more than 50 pounds. Your carry-on bag must fit under your seat or in an overhead compartment (maximum 45 total inches - length + width + height). Some airlines also impose weight restrictions on carry-on bags. You will be charged for excess baggage by the airline if your luggage exceeds their size or weight limits. Please consult your tour itinerary for specific luggage restrictions for the airline you are flying.

All baggage must have identification on the outside of the bag, and it’s also a good idea to have identification on the inside, in case the outer tag is lost. We recommend that you pack one change of clothes in your carry-on bag in case your checked bag is delayed for any reason. Never place your travel documents, money, cameras, medication or other valuables inside your checked luggage. Keep them in your carry-on bag in case your luggage is lost or delayed. Due to TSA security regulations your luggage must be unlocked (or locked with a TSA-approved lock) so the security personnel are able to search it as needed.

Please note: When luggage handling at hotels is included in the cost of the tour, this applies only to your one checked bag. Your carry-on luggage is your responsibility for the entire tour. Never ask the porter to move additional bags without first speaking to your tour manager.

Medication:

If you wear glasses it is wise to take an extra pair with you. If you take prescription drugs please be sure to bring more than you need for the trip. All medications (including over-the-counter medications and vitamins) should be carried in the original containers with labels intact. It is also a good idea to bring copies of your prescriptions in case there are any questions at security checkpoints. If you take prescription drugs that are considered controlled substances or if you are carrying syringes, please ask your doctor for a letter explaining why you need them. Please provide TWT with a copy of this letter so that we can advise the airlines. 

While on Tour:

1.     Please wear your TWT name tag. It will help your tour manager get to know you and will help him or her keep track of the group.

2.     Please be sure that the color-coded paper baggage tag is always on your large, checked suitcase (from the time you check in at the airport until you arrive back home). This tag assures easy luggage identification for your tour manager and baggage handlers, and it identifies you as belonging to a specific group.

3.     The white plastic baggage tag should also be used on your checked luggage. This tag is sturdy and meets the requirements of the airline. Identification on the outside of your suitcase is mandatory. Identification on the inside of your luggage is highly recommended. 

4.     Please be prompt when your tour manager announces times for coach departures, dining, sightseeing, etc. Departure delays can spoil the enjoyment of the trip for the group members and can actually destroy the schedule for the entire day.

Your Tour Manager and Coach Driver:

A good tour manager increases enjoyment for passengers and turns a good trip into a great trip. We have made every effort to provide your group with an experienced and personable tour manager who will make each day of your tour special. Our tour managers are professional men and women whose livelihood is often dependent on escorting groups such as yours.

Your coach driver also considers his position as a profession not just a job. While your driver may or may not have mastered the English language, he has been hired because of his ability to master an expensive motor coach that will be carrying a group of very valuable people (you and your fellow travelers!).

Both of these people deserve your respect and cooperation. Treat them in such a way that they will always want to do their very best to maximize your enjoyment. In many ways, they translate our plans into reality.

International Hotels:

TWT uses 3, 4 and 5-star hotels that are chosen on the basis of location, cleanliness, excellent service and, when possible, are typical of the local area. Normally you will find 3 & 4 star hotels in Europe and 4 & 5 star hotels in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and India. Many of the hotels are located in buildings that were originally built for another purpose and have been converted to hotels at a later date. For this reason, you will often find that the rooms within the same hotel are not of uniform shapes and sizes. All will have private bathroom facilities, although some may have a tub and others may have a shower stall. All will have similar amenities. Please be aware that single rooms, where available, are often very small, and the third bed in a triple room will often be a cot.

If you have charges to your room for personal items such as beverages, mini-bar purchases, phone or internet, laundry services, etc., please settle your bill with the front desk prior to checkout.

Meals and Beverages:

Your final itinerary will outline the meals that are included in your tour program.   If there are any foods that you cannot eat due to health reasons, please notify our office. While we cannot guarantee the availability of special diets, we will forward your request to the appropriate airline, hotels and restaurants. 

Beverages with lunches or dinners are rarely included in the cost of the tour. If you order beer, wine, soda, coffee or mineral water, you will receive a bill at the end of the meal. 

Tips for your drivers, guides and housekeeping staff are not included. Please check your final itinerary for suggested tipping amounts. Tips to drivers and guides are usually presented at the end of the tour.

Smoking is strictly prohibited on airplanes, buses, trains and most other modes of transportation. Many hotels do not allow smoking in the rooms. Please smoke only in designated smoking areas.

What to Pack:

We recommend that you check www.weather.com for the cities that you will visit. If you start checking the 10-day forecast a couple of weeks before your trip, it will give you an idea of what kind of weather to expect during your journey. Comfortable clothing and walking shoes are the rule, and most people find it best to dress in layers to allow for temperature fluctuations during the day.   It is advisable to pack clothes that can be easily washed in the sink of your hotel room, since public laundry facilities may be difficult or impossible to find. Hotel laundry service, where available, is often very expensive. You should also be aware that most hotels do not supply washcloths – be sure to pack several if you wish to use them during your trip. Most hotels have hair dryers in the rooms, so consider leaving yours at home. Finally, don’t leave home without a waterproof jacket and/or umbrella, sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, spare camera batteries and a pocket calculator. 

Wardrobe Hints:

*    Plan your wardrobe around a basic neutral color. Then choose accessories that add color and frills.

*    Keep in mind that stain repellent and wash-and-wear fabrics are easier to maintain. 

*    When traveling, dress as conservatively as possible. Simplicity is the key to being well groomed.

*   Admittance to some religious sites may be denied if you have a low neckline or if you are wearing short pants or a sleeveless top. Slacks and jeans are acceptable. Your tour manager will notify you if you will be visiting a site with rules regarding conservative clothing.

Keeping in Touch:

Using your hotel room phone to place calls to the USA can be very expensive. We recommend the following alternatives for keeping in touch with friends and family.

Cell Phones:

If you are hoping to use your cell phone during the tour, please call your cell phone provider and ask them if your phone will work overseas. If so, you should ask them if you have international calling capability as part of your current plan. If your phone will work but is not currently set up for international calling, you can ask if it is possibleto have theinternational capability turned on just for the period of time that you will be using it overseas. Also be sure to ask what charges will apply for international calling and texting.

If you have a smart phone, please be sure to turn OFF your data-roaming feature. You can still use the Internet via your phone when you are connected to Wi-Fi, but it is very expensive to use your data-roaming feature while you are traveling.

There are several apps that will allow you to use your cell phone for free (or deeply discounted) calls and texts while you are traveling. Viber is one option - if you download the Viber app you can make free calls and send free texts to anyone else who has the app on their phone (so make sure your family also downloads the app).   WhatsApp and Skype are two other options that you might want to consider. All of these apps are great options that you can use whenever you are connected to the Internet.

Internet Access:

Most hotels do offer Internet access, although there is often a charge for this service. Since you are on vacation, we hope you will be able to leave your computer at home! Most hotels will have a business center or a lobby computer for the use of hotel guests. This will allow you to keep in touch with friends and family via e-mail. Internet cafes are also very common in major cities abroad.

Phone Cards:

It may be possible to purchase a phone card in the local currency (usually available from a tobacco kiosk or news stand). These phone cards can be used from public phones within the country for which they are valid, and they are often quite cost effective.   Sometimes they can also be used when calling from your hotel room. Please ask your tour manager for his or her recommendation regarding phone cards.

Money Matters:

Credit cards (especially Visa and Mastercard) are widely accepted and are a wise choice – especially for major purchases. You will also want to carry some local currency for smaller purchases such as snacks, drinks, souvenirs, etc. ATM machines are readily available in the areas that you will visit, so consider using your debit card to withdraw money in the local currency. Credit cards andATM withdrawals usually offer the most favorable rates of exchange. Don’tforget to bring your 4-digit PIN if you plan to withdraw money from ATMs.   

We recommend that you call your bank or credit card company prior to travel to make sure that your card will work internationally, to advise them that you will be using your card overseas and to ask about fees associated with international purchases or withdrawals.

You can also exchange currency at banks or currency exchanges, although the exchange rates are not always as favorable as the ATM machines. If you do plan to travel with US Dollars to exchange into the local currency, we advise using new bills in small denominations ($20 or less). It is increasingly difficult and expensive to exchange travelers’ checks in Europe, so we no longer recommend using them. 

As you reach the end of your stay in each country, please try to spend all of your coins. Paper currency can be converted into other currencies, but most places will not exchange coins from one currency to another.

Using Electrical Appliances:

The electrical current in most foreign countries is 200-240 volt – almost twice as strong as the 120-volt electricity that we use in the USA. To use your small appliances during your trip you will need to purchase an adapter and/or a transformer (also called a converter). An adapter will allow the plug on your appliance to fit into the outlet in your hotel. Some appliances are dual voltage (they will say “dual voltage” somewhere on the plug or it will specify 110 – 240v). Some may have a switch that allows you to change from 120 volt to 240 volt. If your appliance is dual voltage, then you only need the adapter. However, if your appliance is not dual voltage, then you will need both the adapter and a transformer. The transformer will convert the electricity supplied by the hotel to the lesser voltage required by your appliance. If you use an adapter without converting the voltage of the electricity you may cause serious damage to your appliance. Adapters and transformers can be purchased at travel specialty stores as well as the electrical appliance sections of many department and discount stores. If you have questions about whether your appliance needs a transformer, we recommend that you contact the manufacturer.

Thank you for choosing to travel with Trans World Travel – we look forward to having you on the trip!

Governor Phil Murphy

Governor Murphy Announces Fare Holiday on NJ Transit

Fares Waived on All NJ TRANSIT Modes Aug. 26 - Sept. 2.

TRENTON – Governor Murphy today announced a transit fare holiday for all customers from August 26 through September 2, 2024. During this period, fares will be waived for all modes of transportation, offering free rides across the NJ TRANSIT network as a "Thank You" to the hundreds of thousands of loyal customers who depend on public transit. Monthly pass holders who have already purchased an August pass, which covers travel through the end of the month, will automatically receive a 25% discount on their September monthly pass purchase through the mobile app, at Ticket Vending Machines (TVMs), or ticket windows. The fare holiday is a way to express the sincere appreciation for customers’ continued loyalty and patronage, particularly during a time when transit service has not consistently met their expectations—or our own. NJ TRANSIT recognizes the impacts these service issues have had over the past few months and remains committed to improving the travel experience for transit customers. “Understanding that our commuters have faced many disruptions this summer, we are providing a one week fare holiday for NJ TRANSIT riders,” said Governor Murphy. “As we work diligently with Amtrak to investigate and address the issues that have occurred this summer, especially on the Northeast Corridor, we hope this fare holiday offers our commuters some relief.  We also encourage New Jerseyans to take advantage of this opportunity, and we continue to be thankful to the many New Jerseyans who depend on public transit.” Many of the recent service disruptions have occurred on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor (NEC). NJ TRANSIT has been working tirelessly advancing the joint plan with Amtrak announced immediately following Governor Murphy’s meeting with NJ TRANSIT and Amtrak leadership on June 27, 2024, to improve service on this critical rail line – the busiest corridor in the country. While the root causes of these incidents have not yet been identified, significant short-term actions have already been taken and there has been noteworthy progress. NJ TRANSIT personnel have increased equipment inspections on platforms, while Amtrak has stepped up its efforts in inspecting and repairing their catenary (overhead wire), track signal systems, and substations along the NEC. These collaborative efforts have already led to a noticeable decrease in infrastructure-related incidents. Additional longer-term actions to address state-of-good-repair of Amtrak infrastructure include adding resources to increase testing of transformers in substations and evaluating opportunities to expand work windows with service adjustments to accelerate repairs and upgrades. In addition, NJ TRANSIT is working with Amtrak to support overall capital renewal by pursuing additional grants to expedite the replacement of catenary, substations, and transmission and signal lines, through the Fed-State Partnership Grant Program. NJ TRANSIT also recognizes that the River LINE light rail service has not been meeting its performance standards over the last several weeks. NJ TRANSIT implemented a supplemental bus plan earlier this week as an interim measure to improve service reliability and predictability for customers traveling on weekdays. At the same time, we are holding NJ TRANSIT’s contracted operator accountable to expedite necessary repairs and upgrades to the light rail vehicles to restore reliable weekday light rail service as quickly as possible.
