Hoboken train crash: How to get back home to Rockland County
Public and private buses and ferries are cross-honoring NJ Transit tickets
This morning's train crash at Hoboken Station will have lingering effects into this evening's commute.
PATH service is set to come back online for the evening rush hour, but all NJ Transit trains in and out of Hoboken are still canceled.
The Pascack Valley and Port Jervis lines are running from Secaucus to points north on a "modified weekend schedule" this afternoon and evening.
Transportation officials suggested those seeking to connect to transportation options through Secaucus do so through Penn Station today.
The other option is to head home up the east side of the river.
Metro-North is honoring all Pascack Valley and Port Jervis Line rail tickets until further notice.
