NJ Transit crews were clearing 165 train stations and working with Amtrak to remove snow from rail infrastructure Monday amid the blizzard.

The blizzard was “unprecedented at least in the last 30 years” for the state, NJ Transit President Kris Kolluri said in an interview with News 12. “We are working around the clock.”

He said bus operations faced separate challenges because many routes rely on local and county roads. He said local officials still needed to clear bus stops so riders could board safely.

Kolluri said he was hesitant to set a timeline for restoring service. He said he was trying to determine whether limited rail or bus openings could begin Monday or Tuesday. He said safety would guide every step.

He said the shutdown carried financial consequences for the agency and for commuters, noting buses typically move about 250,000 riders a day and trains about 100,000.
