TRENTON, NJ—New Jersey State Senator Mike Testa took to Twitter to voice his strong dissatisfaction with the current state of NJ Transit, urging the Biden Administration to address what he referred to as a “literal train wreck.” Testa’s tweet emphasized the need for a comprehensive audit of NJ Transit and criticized the proposed 15% fare hike as an ineffective solution.
Testa highlighted the disproportionate impact of NJ Transit’s issues on South Jersey residents, who he claims see little benefit from the agency yet are expected to subsidize the “horror show” in North Jersey. He argued that further financial contributions from South Jersey should be withheld until significant improvements are made in the transit system.
The senator’s call for action reflects a broader frustration among commuters and taxpayers who demand transparency and efficiency from their public transportation system. With his plea for immediate intervention, Testa is pushing for “much needed answers” to ensure accountability and better service for New Jersey’s transit users.
