Schedule:

NJ Transit will add new “early getaway” service routes by rail and bus to their schedule on Friday, September 2 for riders looking to leave work early and get a jump-start on the Labor Day weekend.

Extra outbound trains will operate on the Morris & Essex (as well as the Northeastern Corridor, North Jersey Coast, Raritan Valley, and Main/Bergen County/Port Jervis) lines from approximately 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m.
