Passengers diverted to Hoboken will receive steep discounts on fares, New Jersey Transit said. New Jersey Transit said that it would add bus service from some train stations to Midtown Manhattan and that it had arranged special ferry service between Hoboken and Midtown. Those changes will force thousands of commuters to change trains or transfer to the PATH rail system or ferries to reach New York City. The schedules, which New Jersey Transit published on Friday, show that some trains will be diverted to Hoboken Terminal from Penn Station and other trains that normally go to Hoboken will end their morning runs in Newark. New Jersey rail commuters got their first detailed view on Friday of how torturous the summer will be when New Jersey Transit released train schedules revised to accommodate repair work that will close off tracks at Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan.
