Google Transit uses the same scheduling data that drives NJ Transit’s online trip planner and provides specific trip times and transfers for travel between any of NJ Transit’s rail and light rail stations, integrating the data into the familiar Google Maps interface for convenient access to essential travel information.
The NJ Transit Website will also integrate Google Maps with the information pages for each rail and light rail station, enabling customers to find local businesses without leaving the NJ Transit site. Bus schedule information is expected to be added to the system later this year.
