Fares
The Newark Light Rail is equivalent to a one-zone bus ride, with the one-fare zone at $1.50 as of May 1, 2010, and is valid for one hour on the entire system from the time the ticket is validated. A special $0.70 fare is available for trips that use only the subway between Warren Street and Penn Station and not the surface portion. Through-ticketing is available for connecting bus routes. Passengers must purchase tickets before boarding and validate them before boarding the train (valid transfers from connecting New Jersey Transit or Coach USA ONE Bus bus routes or monthly passes also constitute proof of payment). Transit police will enter trains at certain times to make sure all passengers have validated tickets. The fine for not having a ticket is $74. On the PCC streetcars, cash fares were paid on board (except for a brief period prior to the introduction of LRVs, when proof-of-payment fare collection was instituted).
