New Jersey Transit is a real train wreck.
Garden State commuters are having the week from hell — with annoying delays snarling rail service on two major lines and a blazing bus fire breaking out on the New Jersey Turnpike.
A slow-speed derailment last Friday between the Millburn and Summit stations has caused lengthy delays on the Morris & Essex line to Penn Station all week, frustrating commuters.
A bus fire broke out on the Jersey Turnpike Thursday morning. ABC 7New Jersey Transit cancelled 25 trains while repairing the tracks and commuters Thursday morning were still suffering through “reduced service.”
A spokesperson for New Jersey Transit told The Post the “M&E remains on special schedule until further notice as repairs continue.”
Meanwhile, a fire broke out on a New Jersey Transit bus running on the 113 line as it headed north on the Turnpike near Secaucus at around 6:12 a.m. Thursday.

PATH trains between Hoboken and the World Trade Center and 33rd Street stations were also suspended for roughly two hours Thursday morning as crews worked to repair a rail near Manhattan’s Christopher Street station, according to the Port Authority.
Service had resumed in both directions by about 7:30 a.m., but officials warned passengers to continue to expect delays throughout the day.
