Thanks Ben. Do you do the outside sign for the R62? If so could you do that as well? Thanks

Hey Ben I’d like to see a throwback in R62 format Woodlawn-Jerome Av,Bronx Utica Avenue, Brooklyn thanks Dover

Pointing down yes

Hi Ben. Could you do a set of Transfer signs with the yellow sign and black lettering please? Transfer : Transfer: (brownM) Thanks Dover

That’s messed up. I’m sorry that happened to you. Good that you got some kind of assistance, not being able to get out isn’t a good feeling at all

It may be because you get a paycheck every Thursday for the Monday- Sunday you’ll be working

Not sure about that. @553 Bridgeton?

The DeCamp signs that you saw were added as a “P/R” code (for example: Standing Room Only”, Welcome NJ Transit The Way To Go”) until they could be added as primary destination signs

To be honest, the only time I don’t even bother to use the scanning is in the rush hour at Port Authority Bus Terminal (where you only have 5 minutes at a time to load 57 passengers per bus), and Willowbrook Mall (on a good weekend which may as well be a rush hour at PABT) and you would have to wait seconds at a time before the scanner completely cycles and the next rider has to do the same. The scanning (when it works 🤦‍♂️) allows drivers to not fumble around with the menu (and possibly having a “dammit” moment with hitting the wrong option for the proper ticket/pass) and scans everything right on the spot.

Aren’t those lines a ONE operation?

Clever devices…more like dumbass devices. I find myself calling up to control more often than not to fix the problem

I’ve never seen that…I’ve driven the 751 in the RTS days. That’s epic

Well after being switched off my 164X to do the 195 and the 199 (all inbound), I was pleasantly surprised to see the Kingsland bridge is finally reopened

So the operators are out of Ironbound and Oradell. Only reason being I guess since those lines come out of Gate 208 and both depots lay over on the 4th floor

So it’s already loaded on? I need to check to see if it’s on the MCIs

I just saw that. Westwood/Oradell, huh?

Well we just had our pick so I’d like to see how this shakes out

Not sure but if you know you’re going to New York City and your bus sign reads NEW YORK CITY....YOU GET ON!!!!!!

I would rather use the 1000 sign for NEW YORK CITY PA BUS TERMINAL

One thing I’d like to ask the programmer of these destination signs is why the ridiculous indentation: 195 CEDAR GROVE WILLOWBROOK

I think that’s already been thrown out the window, I’ve been picking up and dropping off along that stretch since I got there in addition to the occasional cross honoring of DeCamp tickets. Now more so than ever now that said company (serving New York) will be out soon. An aside to all this: As much as this hurts DeCamp, drivers and riders alike, they got a bit of a heads up unlike the fiasco at Bieber where people went to ride only to find out the day of that there is no more bus service.

Used to be when DeCamp was shut down, we cross honored their tickets on the 199 when I ran during rush hour. I remember being caught off guard when one gave me a DeCamp ticket, but when a whole gang of them came on board, like the saying goes “one is an accident, two is a trend”, I ended up going with the trend.

NJT would probably want them back

If you’re referring to the extension into Jersey City yeah, I have yet to see that routing myself
