Do NJT buses accept more than exact change?

Do NJT buses accept more than exact change? - Inscription My body my rules against gray background

I'm considering taking NJT bus 62 to the airport from the West Village (in combination with the PATH train, which takes Metrocards, so that's easy). I've see online that the bus accepts only exact change (conflicting information on the actual fare, this schedule says it's $1.60, I've read slightly over $2 on the internet, regardless, it's "cheap", whatever).

Does this mean that I need to actually have coins with me, or will they accept e.g. $2 if the fare is $1.60? Or, for 3 people, $5?



Best Answer

Yes, you can pay more than the required fare. I overpaid my fare several months ago. The trip passed without incident. (What do you imagine the driver would do, refuse to transport you for overpaying?)
