Prohibits NJT from implementing automatic fare increases.
This bill prohibits the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) from implementing automatic fare increases for regular bus routes and rail services. It defines "automatic fare increase" as a fare hike triggered by time passing, without new approval, that NJT had previously planned. The law directly affects NJT passengers by preventing unannounced fare hikes tied to pre-set schedules. NJT must now seek new legislative approval for any fare increases, rather than applying them automatically. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
