18052 and 18053 confirmed on Wash Twp routes last night and this morning. 16003 is also out this morning.

I saw 16003 signed "Hilton" while i was waiting for the 406 at 6th & Race after the Eagles Parade

did NJT/MNRR pull the Sunday game train from New Haven to Secaucus for 1PM Giants/Jets games?

I was a looking at a potential Flex schedule change where the Cowboys-Giants game gets moved from 4:25 PM to 1 PM time slot on Dec. 10 warranting the need for the New Haven game train, but this page doesn't show

NJT completed lengthening platforms at Exchange Place HBLR Station to accommodate the longer cars

I've heard through the grapevine that Saddle River has been awarded via judge the Bergen County local routes formerly ran by Community Coach

Wow, i didn't think they went to court against NJT over those routes

I just saw a Saddle River NJT MCI 17068 in Atlantic City with the 11C sign code, probably doing a casino junket run

Major changes to the 510 Bus down in Wildwood/Rio Grande this Summer

16003 was at Ironbound today as backdrop (with the cameras & monitors installed) for Gov Christie announcing the TTF funding the new 360 degree bus camera, HBLR extensions and other transit related projects

I think it would be best for the private bus lines, especially Academy and CUSA companies to not retire their old state-owned MCI cruisers this summer, so they can use them in addition to the new ones they got as shuttles to NYC from NJT stations during the Amtrak partial shutdown

7939 at Washington Twp

say i lived in nj again back on my old route of the 114 would there be any chance i would see the new mci order or would they be still stuck with the old order from when they last replaced the old mc9's 

i heard the "4000 series" hybrids that are at Egg Harbor will be moved to Ironbound once Egg Harbor starts receiving the 17-18xxx series cruisers

Any idea why all Atlantic City rail line trains each are 5 cars instead of 3 or 4?

is there still an NJT owned bus leased to and operated by the Cape May-Lewes Ferry... used to be a Flxible... what bus is it now?

if not we can take it out

Press release from New Flyer/MCI:

Interesting how they layout the map and details for high volume of passengers between Wildwood and Villas for this Summer

Since when did the Clever Devices' PSA announcements include scrolling text on the LED display?

this was pretty cool, chartered Riverline train for a Rutgers Camden students only, nonstop to Trenton... to see Obama speak at Rutgers commencement

Despite a new contract with rail unions, no new fair hikes in the immediate future

319 has always been year-round service but only Cape May is seasonal

I figured it out but, it's still horrible.

 

-One, the bus maps are horrible. They should do a google maps overlay.

-Either you have to know the route or you put in a origin and destination path and they give you a route you could take. Give me a reasonable map. Sometimes there's another bus you can take a few blocks away.

-There are no zone maps as a whole, I guess they're contrived based on each bus route ( I know they're in each bus route pdf). 

-I was trying to figure out the monthly pass rate for a certain area and you get a sheet with a list of zones, but I understand how it works now.

if you go to Mybusnow.njtransit.com, and click on Map, you can select up to 5 bus routes and they show the google map overlay and the buses in real time where they are, sometimes the lines are messed up, but they try to fix them up

How many people are taking Uber to a train station?

So the NJEA Teacher Convention in Atlantic City is tomorrow and Friday (week off of school for NJ kids)... but no NJ Transit extra trains on the ACRL to/from AC

So apparently, all the GTFS data, including bus and rail detours is on Apple Maps

Hey 553... what's the deal with only SOME buses now displaying their garage? Doesn't seem to make sense. Could get confusing to the public to see a Bridgeton bus all of a sudden read "Egg Harbor"

I think because those buses were used in Camden during Pope Weekend, and they still have the P/R code display EGG HARBOR

I wonder if the   will have Redbirds for the Mets playoff games

NJT has made more rail cuts that bypassed the public hearings than previously announced this past Spring, they went into effect this week
