The River LINE operates as a “proof of payment” fare collection system. This policy requires that you have a valid ticket prior to boarding a light rail car. Retain your ticket until you leave the station area at your final destination.

Ticket Vending Machines (TVMs) are located on platforms at each station. Information on purchasing and time stamping tickets is displayed on TVMs. For additional ticket information, please refer to the Ticketing Options poster located near TVMs.

Time stamp all one-way, transfers and continuing trip tickets purchased from TVMs in validation machines before boarding the light rail cars. Time stamp tickets are good for 2 hours. Tickets purchased from NJ TRANSIT bus operators already indicate the time/date and do not need to be time stamped. Monthly passes do not need to be time stamped.

Validation machines are located near TVMs on platforms at each station. To time stamp your ticket, insert it into the validation machine with the print side up and NJ TRANSIT’s logo facing to the left. The machine will print an expiration time/date stamp on the ticket.

Once you have a valid ticket, all that’s left to do is to get on board and enjoy the ride. NJ TRANSIT Fare Enforcement Officers will make random ticket inspections. Remember to keep your ticket handy as you may be asked to show your ticket more than once during your trip. If you are a senior citizen or a passenger with a disability and are traveling with a reduced fare ticket, you must provide a valid ID upon request. See “Reduced Fares” below for valid IDs. If you do not have a valid ticket you will be subject to a warning or fine of up to $100. Repeat offenders may be subject to criminal charges.



The one-way fare between Camden and Trenton or points in between is $1.35. One-way tickets are valid until used.

Passes are valid for unlimited trips within the calendar month. Monthly passes are discounted - the more you ride the greater the discount. You may purchase them at TVMs located at River LINE stations beginning the 20th day of the preceding month to the 10th day of the month for which they are valid. River LINE monthly passes may also be used for a one-zone bus ride, at no additional fare, on most NJ TRANSIT intrastate bus lines that operate in the State of New Jersey.


All NJ TRANSIT monthly bus passes are valid for travel on the River LINE at no additional charge during the period of validity.

Now, you can also use your NJ TRANSIT monthly or weekly rail pass printed with 1 zone or greater for any River LINE trip at no additional charge during the period of validity.
