in one of the post you shouldnt touch 831 to more north of red bank. during holiday time, the bus is alway late. i remember one time the bus was half hour late for me to reach the last 834 and thankfully the last 834 waited for us because of heavy traffic jam along rt 35 from monmouth mall to red bank. the 831 got enough traffic jam in west long branch to long branch train station. i can see 834 need to expand a little more of line because that route is too light and too fast sometime(maybe it depend on the time of day) 817 with every hour and half sound ridiculous. even tho it run by academy. That route is way to long.They somehow run perpendicular and cross over each other from the Port Authority run between keyport and belford main street. The Port Authority run dont run much, only during rush hour peak direction. After lunch they drop their service to every two hours toward NYC even on weekend for both direction. there is a section that has 3 hours wait if you miss it. look at their schedule and you will be surprise because not enough rider. i think it got change dramatically ever since economic turn around.
