New in 1.5: more dependable NJ Transit ticket recovery, clearer ticket status and expiration details, and more accurate live journey maps.
ViaNJ helps NJ Transit rail riders get from departure board to ticket faster.
• See live rail departures, boarding status, service alerts, and track predictions.
• Explore active trains across the system with Rail Radar.
• Open a departure to view its route, reported live train location, stop progress, station times, and track history.
• Set a local arrival reminder for a selected train and future stop.
• Review recently departed service and save favorite stations.
• See clearly labeled, unconfirmed possible stop changes when current and historical service evidence suggests the official stop list may be lagging.
• Ask ViaNJ to explain the displayed journey facts, with on-device processing when supported and a privacy-conscious cloud fallback.
• Keep issued tickets organized with activation and Apple Wallet tools.
• Recover tickets from NJ Transit receipts when needed.
With When In Use permission, ViaNJ can also show your location on rail maps. Your location stays on your device and is not stored or transmitted.
ViaNJ Pro is an optional $4.99/month auto-renewable subscription that unlocks Rail Radar, live journey maps, train arrival reminders, journey explanations, service-pattern insights, Rail Passport, recently departed trains, integrated NJ Transit ticket purchasing, automatic ticket import, purchase recovery, and private iCloud ticket backup.
NJ Transit fares are separate: NJ Transit shows and charges each fare through its secure payment provider. Fares are not included, free, or discounted with ViaNJ Pro.
A subscription is not required for schedules, alerts, existing tickets, manual receipt recovery, activation, or Apple Wallet.
ViaNJ is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by NJ Transit.
