    On Sept. 24 and Sept. 25, NJ Transit will have service in place to accommodate customers heading to New York, particularly during the evening hours and continuing through the end of the Papal event at Madison Square Garden. The agency is adding additional bus service on New York-bound routes and adjusting some of our rail service to provide more seats during hours when customers will need them the most. Service to Hoboken also is an option and allows convenient connections with PATH and NY Waterway services to and from New York.

    NJ Transit will offer limited special service on its Atlantic City Rail Line and River Line for people attending the World Meeting of Families and Papal visit on Sept. 26 and Sept. 27. The service is limited in order to keep crowd numbers consistent with the maximum capacity that will be available.

    During the weekend of Sept. 26-27, NJ Transit regular tickets will not be accepted and the agency will not be operating regular weekend service on either the Atlantic City Rail Line or the River Line. Special tickets
