Princeton Shuttle Rail Service from the University to Princeton Junction Station is temporarily being replaced by NJ Transit bus shuttles.
Service began Monday after a tree came down on overhead wires. It was not caused by Tuesday's storm.
The bus shuttle takes about 20 minutes to get to Princeton Junction.
It's a practice run of sorts, as this same bus service will run from July 14 until July 26 due to annual routine maintenance.
