46Dover

The story I heard was that all the Community drivers went home after a certain time, only for the Mayor to send them a nastygram to bring their asses back to the Meadowlands and to their credit, they listened. I didn’t ask how many drivers would’ve been available for work the next morning, what with availability via hours of service and all that....

Update

Forget rush hour, Have you seen the 126 at odd hours of the evening?

So yesterday I’m in bed on my day off and got called by Lakeland to do a job. That job happened to be a Gladstone Branch trip. I operated the 4:56 out of Gladstone and had to let people know as much as possible via my horn that there was no train, just a bus. I get back to the terminal in Dover when I’m done and ask the dispatcher: How much you wanna bet this is due to engineer shortage?

Was that the Jets game?

You also have some bus operators looking to cross over to rail side which is essentially robbing Peter to pay Paul....

The thing with that is: I had lived in Brooklyn and was working for Community Coach in Paramus; when I got my paycheck I saw that I was getting taxed as a New York resident and working in New Jersey and barely had enough money to cross the GW 😖. Wonder if they see their paycheck the would be engineers would either quit or be like me and move to Jersey

What he’s done could actually amount to industrial sabotage

Just finished a day trip which I had to tell a girl/woman to Please use text instead of being on her cell phone (as per regulation). She gets to Dover and tells dispatcher I was talking to a passenger as I was driving. So she’s gonna lie about me after I corrected her? Hope to God I never bump into her again....

Because they consider themselves too big to fail...
