With Amtrak now fully operational for e-ticketing, NJ commuter rail to give it a try

Last month, Amtrak went fully operational with e-ticketing systemwide. Soon after New Jersey Transit has announced that it will become the nation's first commuter railroad to offer online ticketing. 

According to the Ashbury Park Press, online ticket purchasing could be expanded on the entire NJ Transit system. That depends on how the system performs in discussion at the end of football season when train crews, riders and customer service officials are interviewed and a report and recommendations are presented to NJ Transit management, agency officials said. A new station was opened in 2009 to bring sports and entertainment fans directly to the large Meadowlands sports complex.

 Amtrak started with a few pilot projects on the Capitol Corridor and the Downeaster line, the homegrown train service connection Portland, ME to Boston.
