NoHuBus Posted June 11, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 11, 2012 www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2012/06/bus_rapid_transit_public_meeti.html BRT in Jersey City Bayonne vicity is not a surprise since now transportation is now needed in the area to get people to JSQ. So how would you this would work and what lines would be BRT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted June 11, 2012 Share #2 Posted June 11, 2012 The only lines I could think of are those up JFK Blvd (the #119 and I guess R & T still operates the #10, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuBus Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted June 11, 2012 No RT the No 22 Hillside operates the 10 plus the West Side Ave could be a nice corrider with the 80 and AC that could link up the 10 somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qjtransitmaster Posted June 12, 2012 Share #4 Posted June 12, 2012 let 80 be full time LTD stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go25 Posted June 14, 2012 Share #5 Posted June 14, 2012 I would say convert the 80 but I feel that the 10 is long overdue to be a BRT route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qjtransitmaster Posted June 14, 2012 Share #6 Posted June 14, 2012 I would say convert the 80 but I feel that the 10 is long overdue to be a BRT route but 10 has no local alternatives how can it go LTD stop?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go25 Posted June 15, 2012 Share #7 Posted June 15, 2012 but 10 has no local alternatives how can it go LTD stop?? hmmm now I think about it, thats a good point. since that will not work out, its between the 80 & 87. The 87 should be a good candidate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
161 New York Posted June 16, 2012 Share #8 Posted June 16, 2012 but 10 has no local alternatives how can it go LTD stop?? I don't see how something like this can work, I am intimately familiar with Bayonne. Unfortunately, as with any main artery in Hudson County, these mini-buses cannot be dismissed as a travel alternative. Anything else will probably confuse a good number of riders. In my opinion, my off-peak travels on the 10 (2pm - 11pm from Bayonne to JC) have been fine. The only suggestion I can offer is with the 119: - Run rush hour express service from Bayonne, select stops in Jersey City, left on Communipaw Avenue or Danforth via Mallory Avenue( so West Side folks have access) then Communipaw Avenue to NJ Turnpike to the Express Bus Lane (Lincoln Tunnel). However, afternoon/evening rush hour passengers would not see much of any benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkmatechamp13 Posted June 16, 2012 Share #12 Posted June 16, 2012 but 10 has no local alternatives how can it go LTD stop?? If there are a lot of vans running along JFK Blvd, maybe adding a limited version of the #10 could lure back riders onto the buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah theses are the NJ version of the Brooklyn dollar Vans they do the same line of the old 10 they once extended to NY but it goes near 42nd but yea they mostly run on Compition with each other and with Nj Transit really they make all stops but what makes it limited is that people dont wave for it they want the 10 line besides them but they are more reliable then the 10 but thats my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe if you added a limited, riders would say "Well, it's just as fast as the dollar van, so I'll take it if it comes first", instead of waiting for a dollar van specifically. (Either that, or it could get the people who take whatever comes first) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
