Instead of taking the 190 you use the train to New York. I'm kinda curious to know how PATH cross-honors tickets hough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfs NJT459 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted October 28, 2012 It is more than likely that the local buses on the barrier islands will be suspended (500 series) (313, 315, 552 in Wildwood, Cape May), 553 service beginning/ending at Hamilton Mall, 551 service beginning/ending at Avandale Park/Ride, similar situation on the 554, 559, 319 .... as well as the 317 and 800 series in North Jersey Coast because of the evacuations off the all barrier islands by 4 PM, while buses will be shuttling people to shelters all of that before the full potential system wide shutdown remember the difference between this storm and Irene is that it is not summer, so the islands are not as crowded as they were before/after Irene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go25 Posted October 31, 2012 Share #25 Posted October 31, 2012 ohh ok IC would electrification make LRT riverline cheaper to run? kinda curious for the future Maybe but this is better than dealing with the overhead wires on the NLR & HBLR (never been on the riverlne so idk, just stating my opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
