Commuters in the New Jersey to New York City corridor are facing longer and more unreliable journeys due to recent fare increases by New Jersey Transit. The transit breakdown is attributed to underfunding, hot weather, and aging infrastructure, causing repeated delays that could impact the region's residents, businesses, and economy. Efforts to improve service have been met with challenges, including recent incidents prompting investigation by federal authorities. The impact extends to NYC subways, which have seen increased delays and plans for crucial modernization projects now deferred due to funding challenges.
