Limited Bergen, Pascack Valley Rail Line Service to Start Monday

Rail service on three NJ Transit lines will resume some operations Monday, more than 10 days after Sandy crippled much of the region's transportation network. 

Limited service on the Bergen and Pascack Valley lines will be restored Monday, the transit agency announced Saturday night. In addition, limited service from High Bridge to Newark on the Raritan Valley Line will be restored. 

Train schedules will be available at njtransit.com, the agency said. 

The agency said a new discounted ferry service will also begin between Hoboken and Pier 79 in Midtown Manhattan, a move designed to ease congestion at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Free NY Waterway shuttle busses are available for ferry riders. Details are available at nywaterway.com. 

Roundtrip tickets for the new service will cost $10 and be available from at a special ticket booth at Hoboken Terminal on Monday.
