Travellers can access system-wide maps, real-time service alerts, departure times of the trains, changes in schedule, as well as emergency messaging.

Technology and media company Intersection has helped NJ Transit install these service kiosks.

One of the largest public transportation systems in the US, NJ Transit features 165 rail stations, 62 light rail stations and more than 18,000 bus stops connecting all major places across New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia.
