  1. Just doing my June check-in for this topic. In May I stayed over-nite in Tenafly. In the morning I purposefully rode the #20 Red&Tan bus to the PABT. I note that several riders got on the NJT #166. I was the only rider who got on the #20 which came a few minutes later. I use NJT sr coupons for Red&Tan. Even so the Red&Tan sr is fare is about $1 higher than the NJT sr fare. I would appreciate any further comments, complaints, observations, and speculations about bus service in the Englewood - Tenafly - Closter corridor. Thanks.
  2. Just doing a check-up for April... Have there been any developments or discussions about the lack of bus service along the Red & Tan routes which today have limited or no service?
  3. This is an excellent point that the 'free' buses that private operators get from NJT are the subsidy.
  4. Thank you to everyone for continuing our discussion of the Red & Tan routes. Many years ago the Red & Tan routes had good ridership. I was a regular rider of routes 14, 20, and 84 (PS route until 1960). If CoachUSA pulls out completely, I wonder whether NJT would step in. But I do not think that NJT can come in as long as these routes (or frequencies) are only "temporarily suspended" b/c of covid. This "Northern Branch Corridor" (as I call it) today has little public bus service. And the plan to extend HBLR service to Englewood seems to have fallen into the abyss of the many "West Shore Studies" of years ago. Your thoughts?
  5. Thank you for all your responses! We have had an interesting discussion. I just see that Rt-14 has become history as had Rt-84 several years ago. Rt-20 had decent ridership throughout the day and evening, both M-F and on weekends. Now Rt-20 is "rush hour only" (M-F), and I do not foresee any change in this current schedule.
  6. No particular reason, but really just the secular decline in bus ridership over a period of many years.
  7. These routes had decent ridership (Routes 20 and 14) at least until 2015. I rode both routes regularly then. I just wonder if CoachUSA will ever reinstate the pre-Covid schedules, or otherwise pull out completely for these routes.
  8. Since Covid-19, CoachUSA made major cutbacks on the old Red & Tan routes in the Englewood and Closter area. Route 20 is just a few rush hour runs M-F while Route 14 appears to be history. Route 84 went to "Ameribus" (Saddle River Tours), but this route has been gone for many years. Does anyone want to speculate about the future of these routes? Or have there been any complaints or rumblings about the lack of bus service in the area? Route 20 was hourly service before Covid-19 while Route 14 was only rush hour runs to the PABT. Maybe NJT will step in for these routes? Thanks.
