Fares for most riders would increase about 9 percent under a New Jersey Transit proposal announced on Monday in an effort to close a large budget gap at the agency. Service on several rail and bus routes would also be reduced under the plan. The agency's board of directors is expected to vote on the plan at its July 8 meeting after a series of public hearings. The fare increase would take effect on Oct. 1, and the service reductions would happen in September. It would be the first fare increase for New Jersey Transit riders in five years, officials said. The state-run agency oversees a dozen commuter rail lines, three light rail lines and more than 250 bus routes.

And every day thousands of riders use smartcard fare collections systems that we helped to install on buses, rail platforms and in retail stores.
