46Dover

Aside from my gripe of putting up with all the self important people every Sunday trying to get into New York causing upwards of 30-45 minute delays, I like the full service routes better. MCI buses have always been a favorite of mine (second is Grumman, third is Flxible)

I’d like to try the 319 as a driver. I was next to a guy at Wayne garage who was offered to do it a few months back.

Yes. That’s one of two alternatives, the other being Secaucus Rail Station.

A big relief for the 161

This may be already asked, but in my driving for both Lakeland and NJT, I’ve seen PATH cars hauled on trucks on Route 3 in the Secaucus area. Anyone know where they go if this is for heavy repair?

Oh boy.

So jurisdiction is marked from the Statute of Liberty. I had always thought it was the World Trade Center from the distance markers on the old PATH Map Guides back in the 80s. It had lines marking distances from WTC complete with the entire NJT system

Ohhh. That is close

I thought PA had a wide range of coverage to include the Tappan Zee or am I wrong?

Everyone has their hands on the 126 (although I have yet to see it in action from Wayne), some units from Hilton will definitely pitch in. Meadowlands garage started getting them too hence the higher number of artics ordered than the last Neoplan order

I remember driving those 748 trips for Community from Paterson to Pompton Lakes many moons ago when they had the 30ft RTS buses which were apropo for the ridership they had

You have no idea how much that ticks me off. I’m ready to leave on the 161 and those NABI drivers pull right up and impede my progress. I give them a few seconds just to see if they are aware of what they are doing (Lord forgive them for they know what they do 🙏🏼) before I let them have it with the (miserable excuse of a) horn....

I did a piece of day off work which started with the 196 from Warwick which turned into a 161 out, then a 190 back in. Who does these schedules anyway? 🤔

Truth be told, I was disappointed that schedules weren’t adjusted (especially on the buses along Route 3) to make sure we aren’t running hot. With no more traffic on the roads, it’s a PITA to try and keep schedule without running ultra hot

Which means some drivers that were laid off are gonna be working again

You ain’t lyin man....got another one callin while I was at work

So my ex gf just recently started blowing up my Instagram 🤦‍♂️.

Ohhh boy

Montclair right next to the Montclair-Boonton line at (IINM), Walnut Street station

The other thing to consider is this: New York’s bread and butter economy wise is tourism. The streets of New York City are virtually empty (as evidenced from my lofty perch from the 3rd floor of the Port Authority Bus Terminal looking uptown on 9 Avenue and along 42nd Street and down 8th Avenue). With so many folks from different states (and other parts of the world for that matter) being on lockdown due to COVID restrictions, the industry is taking a beating. Lakeland used to bustle with standing room only buses on weekends into New York, now has basically a skeleton crew operating with weekend service cancelled (with the exception of the NJT Gladstone bus shuttles). Back to DeCamp: I had to cross honor tickets for a couple of months, and the fact that there may be an uptick in some of NJT’s Park & Rides looking full may be an illusion due to displaced riders from the aforementioned company’s temporary (?) stoppage. Hope everything gets better soon

Problem with the 31 is like Lakeland and DeCamp, it’s a privately owned operation, and if they aren’t getting any money in, most (being kind in saying that) of their operation will be shutting down.

Turnaround for extra board can be f—-ing brutal 😫 especially if you live 30 minutes away from job

Honestly I am not clear on exact change, but in a related story while in training, there was a similar message on one of the buses (with the whole NJ TRANSIT The Way To Go message) out of my garage to which my instructor made a couple of phone calls and got verification that such a policy did not exist. Drivers could get into some major trouble for things like that
