Capital program includes funding for several new trains and buses
Commuting can be stressful and time consuming, but it seems no matter how you slice it it's always expensive. Even buying a monthly rail ticket, it costs about $5,000 a year for the trek from the Red Bank or Little Silver station to New York Penn Station.

Trains on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor won't be delayed, authorities said, after a tractor trailer sustained heavy damage attempting to cross under a bridge in South Brunswick.
It happened miles away, but might have had an impact on commuter train delays today.

That, however, hasn't happened so far, Amtrak officials said.

The accident near Deans Lane has delayed trains traveling on the Amtrak line, which includes those carrying commuters from the Rumson-Fair Haven area to Red …
