Veterans, military retirees and active-duty service members can ride NJ Transit trains, buses and light rail for free all day today, Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, in honor of Veterans Day.
To ride as a guest, riders show one of the following: a military ID card (active or retired), a Veterans Administration ID, or a membership card from a veterans organization such as the American Legion or VFW. Anyone wearing a U.S. military uniform also rides free, and service members qualify whether or not they are in uniform.
The offer covers any part of the rail, bus and light rail system, including trips from Denville station on the Morristown Line and Montclair-Boonton Line.
“Our nation’s veterans and active-duty service members have given so much to protect the freedoms we all enjoy,” NJ Transit President and CEO Kris Kolluri said in the agency’s Veterans Day announcement.
The rest of the year, active duty, Reserve and National Guard members, military retirees and their dependents can buy reduced one-way tickets by showing a valid military or military-dependent ID. Veterans with a VA identification card marked “service connected” also qualify. At ticket machines or in the NJ Transit Mobile App, choose the Senior/Disabled option; tickets are also sold at station ticket offices.
In town, Denville Town Hall and the public library are closed for the holiday; see our Veterans Day closures guide. Morris County is also lighting buildings green through Nov. 12 for Operation Green Light.
