This week NJ Transit will begin posting new, customer-friendly rail maps on trains and at train stations.

The new map features color scheme for easy reference, and more clear indication of transfer points and service areas by rail line. 

“The new design is intended to be simple, familiar and inviting, not only for our regular customers, but also for those residents and visitors who have never before traveled on the state’s rail network,” NJ Transit Executive Director James Weinstein wrote in a release.
