CHRIS. >> CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT. >>> NJ TRANSIT OFFERING FREE RIDES. >> ELIJAH WESTBROOK COFFERS TRANSPORTATION FOR US. HE JOINS US LIVE FROM SECAUCUS. WHAT ARE COMMUTERS SAYING ABOUT THIS? >> MARY AND CHRIS, IT DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK. FROM THOSE WE HAD THE ANSWER TO TALK TO, THEY'RE QUESTIONING THE TIMING BEHIND ALL THIS. THEY'RE WONDERING WHY THIS FARE HOLIDAY IS TAKING PLACE DURING ONE OF THE SLOWEST PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION PERIODS OF THE YEAR. THOSE SAME RIDER ARES SEEING THE SILVER LINING AND APPRECIATE THE LITTLE BIT. TO REITERATE, SO IT'S AS SIMPLE AS HOPPING ON AN NJ TRANSIT BUS, TRAIN OR LIGHT RAIL AND GOING FORTH WITH YOUR COMMUTE. A TICKET OR FARE PASS IS NOT NEEDED DURING THIS TIME. NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR PHIL MURPHY SAYS THE FREE WEEK IS MEANT TO BE A THANK YOU TO COMMUTERS WHO HAD TO DEAL WITH MONTHS OF SERVICE MEMBERS. THOSE INCLUDED SEVERAL DELAYS AND CANCELLATIONS, MAINLY DUE TO OVERHEAD WIRE ISSUES ON THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR WHICH AMTRAK OWNS. >> I THINK THEY SHOULD GIVE US INSTEAD OF SEVEN DAYS, WHY NOT SEVEN MONTHS? WHY NOT MORE? WE APPRECIATE THE SEVEN DAYS THOUGH. BUT ONLY TWO DAYS OF THAT ONE WEEK I'M GOING TO WORK. >> I'M REALLY HAPPY WAS IT GOVERNOR MURPHY; RIGHT? I'M GLAD WE HAVE A WEEK. I WISH WE HAD LIKE A MONTH OR SOMETHING. I UNDERSTAND IT'S JUST A WEEK. IT'S GREAT. >> GOVERNOR MURPHY SAYS AMTRAK AND NJ TRANSIT HAVE BEEN WORKING TO IMPROVE SERVICE BY STEPPING UP INSPECTIONS, REPAIRING THE OVERHEAD WIRE SYSTEMS, SIGNALS AND SUBSTATIONS. MONTHLY PASS HOLDERS WHO PURCHASE AN AUGUST PASS WILL RECEIVE A 25% DISCOUNT ON THEIR SEPTEMBER MONTHLY PATS. AGAIN, THOSE FREE RIDES END ON
