Why are people not so hype about Reduced Aspect Signals “R.A.S.” on the LIRR vs the position light signals? If they were to keep the position light signals, then just make them brighter and LED efficiant

172 MCI D4500CT buses were ordered by NJT at this week's board meeting https://www.nj.com/news/2022/11/nj-transit-spends-142m-to-buy-the-last-replacements-for-buses-that-predated-the-iphone.html

Looks like the Great Neck pocket track project will be finished this month before ESA opens up

I know the logo is still on the timetable but is Academy still supplementing the 139?

The 2 67B trips were changed from local to express via GSP between Toms River and Dorado beginning with the June summer schedule changes

You can add late weeknight SB stops at Brick and Dorado P&Rs when that’s supposed to be the 137’s stops

Only Newton Ave and Washington Twp operating the 316 this Summer and Twp already has 5332 on the 316

Not mentioned in the advisory: 67B Trips between Toms River and Dorado Park/Rides are express via GSP Gate changes at WRTC The 316 will make the same Philly stops to/from 30th Street as the 313/315, 414, 417, 555 The 414 eastern terminus will now be extended to/from Moorestown Mall (result of the 407 changes) The 405 will have some weekday time adjustments All the 505 trips that begin/end at 32nd Ave in Longport will now begin at Ventnor/Franklin Ave, basically small service cuts at Margate Ventnor Ave/Washington Ave, especially the AM hours

What's going on with "bus service delays due to DOT inspections" at certain bus terminals?

So were buses called to do extra runs from the PABT to areas affected by the cancelled trains such as the 114/Raritan Valley Line

I wonder with the loss of Greyhound Terminal in Philly, if there won’t be an intermediate stop between 30th Street and WRTC for the 316

All those extra year-round trips that were added to the 319 are run by Howell… @553 Bridgeton could confirm?

One seat ride service to be restored in Philly this summer 313/315 will follow 414/417/555 trippers to 30th Street 317/408/409 will follow the Race, Market, Broad, Vine Street loop https://www.nj.com/news/2022/04/commuters-will-get-direct-nj-transit-buses-to-philly-back-in-june-heres-how-theyre-doing-it.html

I saw on the GTFS, Howell has 6 buses on the 319 weekdays, 7 on the weekends w/ the summer schedule

455 and 457 now offering Sunday bus service as a pilot program is a big deal.... for decades those 2 routes never ran in Cherry Hill/Haddonfield to the PATCO station on Sundays 455 only had one bus running between Deptford Mall and Paulsboro on Sundays Also, its not even summer but the 319 has added trips SB to AC Fridays only and Sunday NB trips. https://d2g63oyneaimm8.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/bus_schedules/T0319.pdf
