GREAT NEWS!

At this time, we have configured the Clever Commute app so that all users have free access all Premium features.

Q: What is Premium?
A: You may know Clever Commute as a free app…and it is. However, there are also dozens of amazing features which we provide to those who subscribe to Clever Commute Premium

Q: What are the features?
A: It’s a long list. See it here.

Q: Do I need to do anything to see the changes right now?
A: Just exit and re-enter the free app to experience eveything we have unlocked for you.
– See more hours of history in Recent Alerts (instead of the “2” that free users get)
– Recent Alerts is easier to read (enhanced color coding and formatting)
– Faster refresh (Recent Alerts will automatically refresh more often)
– See alerts on your Primary, Secondary and Tertiary routes

You can set/see more fetures via Settings => Comms and Config
(and also just by clicking on options throughout the app)

It’s going to be tough sledding for a while…

The schedule details vary by line. Read the NJT site to see what will be available to you. 

One constant: Cross honoring remains in effect with NJ TRANSIT bus, private carrier bus, NY Waterway ferry, and PATH at Newark, Hoboken and 33rd Street.

NEW: A list of ways to travel between Manhattan and Hoboken
