Also, not for nothing, the ticketing process is becoming more and more like the honor system.

I live in Newport and take my son to speech therapy next to the Jersey Avenue station twice a week. There have never been ticket collectors at either station in the year-plus we've been taking this ride. I always have an e-ticket ready to go in the NJT app on my phone, but it just sits there.

I do see the ticket agents at Hoboken waiting for people getting off to connect to the PATH, but that's about it.

Just a heads up in case you don’t already know, but the digital tickets have a delay (a couple minutes I think) between activation and it becoming valid

Also there is no need to activate the ticket!

I buy tickets but don't activate them so if im in a rush or forget I have one. The one time I was stopped to be checked they just asked me to activate it. I did and I was on my way.

It makes sense because the timer is sometimes longer than even some trips on the rail.
