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

I tried 3 different gates/turnstiles... Kept getting the same error.

FTR, I wasn't irritated at any one, I was irritated at the thought/instance of getting denied an exit from a RR station...

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

Also, many Oradell bus operators seem to add the decamp destination sign, on top of their run.

 

i.e.: 166: New York Local -> 191D New York Express 

 

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

remember the first time a B/O asked me to scan out in Morris County...I fumbled around with the QR code (I can't stand those things in general) and realized why they don't do it on busy urban routes...with all of the passengers boarding, and having to fumble around, it's just easier to activate it and walk on. NJT gets its money and it gets the ridership count when the B/O pushes the button.

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.

I'm also annoyed by how many operators are too lazy to switch to the correct sign. When I was at Hoboken the other day an operator on the 23 pulled into the wrong lane, with a 22 sign on, and got out of the bus to yell to everyone that it was a 23? Just why?

Aren’t those lines a ONE operation?

Don’t be blaming operators for something you don’t understand. Multiple times the clever devices in the buses stop working and you can no longer change or update the sign which is why that happens.

Don’t call operators lazy, that’s just disrespectful.

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

"751 BOGO

Would like to have a word with you, sir.  

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

Quite the random sight I saw this morning with the 6385 on the 1 showing - 199D Newark/ 1 Newark 16th St

 

I know it was the driver messing around with the destination sign thing but, I wanted to share that. Sucks that I didn't have my phone on me to take a picture.

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

Schedules are out for 191D 192D 195D 199D all leaving from gate 208 on the 4th floor.

These new schedules and lines won’t be on njt MyBus app until late may.

 

Oradell and Westwood will be operating these legs.

I just saw that.  Westwood/Oradell, huh?

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

Didn’t someone do that and get in trouble cause no one knew what bus it was 😂

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

Or

355 NEW

YORK

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

For the #192/199, the low-hanging fruit is to remove those (still in place) boarding restrictions in place in Lyndhurst/Nutley that were specifically in place to prevent the NJT routes from competing with the #32.

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.

Ironically enough regarding this whole situation, they're discontinuing commuter service and eliminating all these lines on Good Friday. Oops!

The only thing I can see NJT doing route-wise without actually extending or creating new routes for now, is to gut the boarding restrictions through Nutley and Lyndhurst on the 192/199 and adding stops along the way. Otherwise, you'd be left with a situation where some sections in those areas get only off-peak service not no peak direction service. That would also mean that the 199 would effectively be a 192, eliminating the need for that number. 

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.

...unless DeCamp tries to keep the state-owned buses.

NJT would probably want them back

I thought it was only a select number of garages but this is beyond ridiculous. The 76 has 4 branches in itself, why? The 159 has 4 branches within itself, why? The 126 has 4 branches of a route, and I never knew the dam thing continued south of Hoboken to some park I have never heard of.

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