NJ TRANSIT Customer Service Phone Number, Complaints & Support

If your NJ TRANSIT train or bus is delayed, you need help with a ticket or refund, you left an item behind, or you need to file a complaint, start with the support route that matches the issue. Have your route, trip date, ticket information and any existing case number ready before contacting NJ TRANSIT.

Which NJ TRANSIT Support Route Should You Use?

• Schedules, fares or general travel information: Call 973-275-5555 or use NJ TRANSIT’s website or mobile app.
• Complaint, compliment or service feedback: Use the NJ TRANSIT Customer Service page to access the official customer feedback form.
• Lost item: Submit a report through the NJ TRANSIT Lost & Found page or call 973-275-5555.
• Ticket refund: Review the current NJ TRANSIT refund policy because eligibility depends on the type of ticket or pass.
• Access Link: Call 973-491-4224 for information, reservations, complaints or compliments.
• Accessibility or ADA question: NJ TRANSIT ADA Services can be reached at 973-491-7385.
• Immediate emergency: Call 911. Suspicious packages, vehicles or activity on the NJ TRANSIT system can also be reported at 1-888-TIPS-NJT.

What to Have Ready Before Contacting NJ TRANSIT

For a faster review of your concern, gather:

• The date and approximate time of travel
• The train line, train number, bus route or light rail line involved
• Your origin and destination
• The station, stop, platform or vehicle location when relevant
• Ticket or pass type and purchase method
• A receipt, transaction record or screenshot when the problem involves payment
• A concise description of what happened
• Any existing customer-service case or reference number

Do not publish ticket barcodes, payment-card information, home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses or other sensitive personal information in a public review.

NJ TRANSIT Delays, Cancellations and Service Alerts

For a delay or cancellation, first check current service information before contacting customer service. NJ TRANSIT provides real-time information through its website and mobile app and offers My Transit Alerts for service disruptions and advisories.

The My Transit Alerts service can provide information about delays, schedule changes, station advisories, elevator or escalator issues and other conditions that may affect a trip.

When submitting a complaint about a disrupted trip, identify the exact service when possible. A report such as “Northeast Corridor train 38XX departing Newark Penn Station at approximately 5:20 p.m.” is more useful than simply stating that a train was late.

NJ TRANSIT Mobile App and Ticket Help

The NJ TRANSIT Mobile App supports trip planning, ticket purchases and activation, real-time travel information and service alerts.

For a mobile-ticket problem:

• Confirm that you are signed into the correct NJ TRANSIT account.
• Check the My Tickets section for the purchase.
• Save the purchase confirmation or receipt.
• Take a screenshot of any payment or activation error.
• Do not delete the account while unresolved tickets or passes remain associated with it.

NJ TRANSIT instructs passengers to activate mobile tickets when they are ready to travel and before boarding. Once activated, a ticket is time-limited and cannot be paused or reused after it expires.

NJ TRANSIT Ticket Refunds

Refund eligibility depends on the fare product. NJ TRANSIT’s current policy states that one-way and round-trip tickets are not refundable.

Other products can have different rules:

• 10-trip tickets: Entirely unused rail, bus or light rail 10-trip tickets may qualify for a refund.
• Weekly and monthly passes: Refund eligibility and deductions depend on when the request is made.
• Mobile-app purchases: Eligible refunds for certain tickets or passes can be submitted through the My Tickets section of the app.
• Third-party commuter-benefit purchases: Passes obtained through providers such as HealthEquity, Edenred or TransitChek generally must be returned through that provider rather than NJ TRANSIT.

Review the official NJ TRANSIT refund policy before mailing tickets or assuming a fare is refundable.

For a ticket-vending-machine malfunction, keep any adjustment receipt produced by the machine. NJ TRANSIT currently lists 1-800-315-8986 for reporting a vending-machine problem. Be ready to provide the machine location and identifying number.

NJ TRANSIT Lost and Found

If you leave a phone, wallet, bag, keys or another item on a train, bus, light rail vehicle or at an NJ TRANSIT facility, report it through the official Lost & Found page as soon as possible.

Include:

• The date and approximate travel time
• The train, bus route or light rail line
• Origin and destination
• Where you were sitting or standing, if known
• A detailed description of the item
• Distinctive markings that can help identify it

Lost items can also be reported by calling 973-275-5555 or by visiting an NJ TRANSIT Customer Service Office. That number can also be used to check the status of a lost-item report.

If a lost wallet or device contains payment cards, identification or access to sensitive accounts, take appropriate steps to secure those accounts while the search is underway.

For Access Link information, reservations, complaints or compliments, call 973-491-4224. NJ TRANSIT currently lists Access Link telephone service from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., seven days a week.

For questions about eligibility, identification requirements or an application, use NJ TRANSIT’s current reduced-fare resources rather than sending sensitive documents through a public review.

How to File an NJ TRANSIT Complaint

For non-emergency service complaints, use NJ TRANSIT’s official customer feedback process.

A useful complaint should include:

1. The date and time of the incident.
2. The train number, bus route, light rail service or station involved.
3. A factual description of what occurred.
4. Any employee, vehicle or location information you can reasonably identify.
5. The effect the problem had on your trip.
6. The resolution you are requesting, when applicable.

Keep a copy of your submission and any case or reference number. If the issue remains unresolved, follow up using the existing case information rather than beginning several unrelated reports about the same event.

NJ TRANSIT Safety and Police Contacts

Call 911 when there is an immediate threat to life or safety.

Do not use a public review page to report an active emergency or time-sensitive safety threat.
