Now…what you might not know is that NJT always does some degree of cross-honoring. Your train pass may be valid for a bus (or light rail) that can get you home.

Welcome to all the riders who joined after reading about Clever Commute at hoboken411.com. There is still plenty of room to grow…and the value of these Clever communities increases as more people join. Please continue to share the good news of Clever Commute.

You have joined a community that gives you the ability to help (and receive help from) your fellow passengers. All of the “alerts” and “advisories” will come from YOU…and are sent directly to your fellow commuters (on your line). A few other things to note:

  • Your should have received a “Welcome” mail. Please make note of the one e-mail address you need for the train line your ride (You can always reach the CleverCommute staff via the website…or at clevercommute at emailworld dot org)
  • Please make your messages to the group actionable, factual, and objective.
  • Please do not ask questions of the group (e.g., “how are things tonight? any delays?”). Rather, you should assume that the best information from the crowd has been shared.
  • The recent media attention has indeed caused a “growth spurt” in our membership…so there will be some growing pains I’m sure…but we’ll get through it together.
  • Follow this link to a few bullet points on “best practices” https://clevercommute.com/blog/page-rules-of-the-road/

Thanks for making this happen. Let’s hope for a smooth commute.
