NJ Transit riders are seeing clearer views on their commute after the agency replaced many of its rail car windows.

Officials say about half of the multilevel rail cars now have new windows. A total of 188 cars, often called double‑deckers, received replacements.

Images provided by NJ Transit show how much easier it is to see outside the upgraded cars.

The agency says the window replacements address a frequent rider complaint identified in surveys. Riders said they’d like to be able to see where they are going while riding.

Last March, NJ Transit announced a three‑year plan to replace old, foggy windows, and the results are beginning to show one year in.

Officials say the goal is to improve the ride for commuters.
