We understand the benevolent spirit in which Governor Murphy announced the NJ TRANSIT fare holiday. However, coming less than two months after a debate concluded regarding the agency’s dire fiscal health, and the need for the business community to come to its rescue, this begs the question as to which is better – a fare holiday or keeping the money to address the financial woes of NJ TRANSIT? We would have preferred the latter.
