NJ Transit Ending Freebies for Some Employees, Retirees

Thirty-nine-year-old Michelle Pumilia of Union Beach and her 68-year-old mother, Virginia Lisay, are charged with second-degree theft

New Jersey Transit will stop providing free rides for some employees and retirees.

The agency's board on Monday decided non-union employees and non-union retirees won't be able to ride for free for non-business purposes starting in January.

About 1,800 of the agency's more than 11,000 employees would be affected.

NJ Transit says the move could bring in an additional $1.6 million annually.

Similar measures have been approved by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, Delaware River Port Authority and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
