Is it under 4 dollars, or costly like NJT?
Like NJT, which is very costly, even off peak.


What are you referring to? Riding between intermediate stops, or riding to/from New York City? Most commuter railroads charge by zones, and the minimum at NJT is $1.75 one way or $2.75 round trip. What is so "costly" about that? To go between Elizabeth and Rahway or Plainfield and Bound Brook for $2.75 round trip, that's a fair amount.

As far as traveling to/from New York City, I look at it this way: If you are going to New York to see a ball game, a concert, or go drinking, it's up to you to pay whatever it costs. Those aforementioned events are not mandatory. If you don't like the fares, stay home. Or buy a car and pay for gas, tolls, and parking and see if that's cheaper than the train fares. And if you are traveling to/from New York City to commute to a job, then you should be able to afford the commuting costs, or get a job closer to home.
