NJ TRANSIT Adds Concert Service for Jonas Brothers
NJ TRANSIT will run special service to Prudential Center for upcoming Jonas Brothers concerts, transit officials said. The enhanced service covers shows scheduled for a Sunday and Monday, though specific dates weren't available by publication time. Officials said the service aims to reduce parking congestion and provide convenient access to Newark's downtown arena.
Standard Practice for Major Arena Events
The transit agency regularly provides enhanced service for major concerts and sporting events at Prudential Center, which opened in 2007 with NJ TRANSIT as a key transportation partner. Officials said the special service typically includes extended hours and additional capacity beyond regular schedules. Specific details about which rail lines will operate enhanced service weren't immediately available. Transit agencies across the country commonly offer similar event-based service for arena venues, with New York's MTA providing special subway service for Madison Square Garden and Philadelphia's SEPTA serving Wells Fargo Center events.
Online Ticketing Available in Advance
Customers can purchase tickets online ahead of the concerts through NJ TRANSIT's website, according to the transit agency. Officials didn't specify whether special event pricing applies or if standard fares will be in effect. The agency typically serves Prudential Center through Newark Penn Station, which connects to Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast, Raritan Valley, and Morris & Essex rail lines. Details about specific departure times and return schedules for the Jonas Brothers concerts weren't provided.
Implementation Timeline Unclear
Transit officials announced the special service recently but didn't provide a specific timeline for when detailed schedules would be released. The agency typically notifies riders several weeks before major service changes, though it's unclear when complete information about routes and times will be available. Officials said riders should check for updates as the concert dates approach.
Convenient Option for Concertgoers
The special service provides an alternative to driving and parking for fans traveling from throughout New Jersey and the greater New York area. Officials said the enhanced transit option allows concertgoers to avoid traffic congestion around the downtown Newark venue. Moovit provides real-time updates and trip planning for NJ TRANSIT routes serving Prudential Center and Newark Penn Station.
