I asked the operator if I could tap and he had no clue what I was talking about. Basically what I predicted. The drivers don’t know anything and nobody is going to use this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted October 15, 2023 Share #3478 Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Nice to see #2625 out & rolling along route 9 earlier today.... Bus looks nice & clean also. Never knew that Howell P&R was used as a storage facility.... Saw maybe about 25-30 buses or so towards the very back corner.... Later on in the day, I also saw something else up close & personal that, as a passenger, I definitely was not supposed to see.... I'm just going to leave it at that.

Looks like you saw the buses being used for the Roadeo at Howell. I’m on vacation now and I was supposed to be away instead of being at Howell. Unfortunately Mother Nature put a damper on both so I opted to stay with family in Brooklyn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know when exactly? I'm hearing November 1st. They've already taken over transdev operations as of the 1st of this month. NJT is using the transdev garage for operations until they can figure out where they can store the buses and which garages will be willing to take on those routes. Howell already vetoed the idea of them operating those routes. Edited October 20, 2023 by Cait Sith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCTransitFilms Posted October 20, 2023 Share #3483 Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Howell was the closest to the routes. So this would be an interesting shakeup. Would the old Transdev garage be considered an NJT garage now? Edited October 20, 2023 by DCTransitFilms 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it make sense being Howell is so close and it give those guys more work especially on weekends. Right now Hamilton Garage is operating the lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted October 21, 2023 Share #3490 Posted October 21, 2023 Why does Meadowlands run the 83 instead of another garage? Seems like a waste to have all that deadhead mileage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a waste to have all that deadhead mileage. What other garage could possibly run the 83? Meadowlands to Journal Square isn’t even that far as the 10 and 125 also do this deadhead, and the 84 used to do it when it was under NJT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to say since the lack of fareboxes. Other than that the next closest is Union City (when that's rebuilt) and probably Ridgefield Park 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted October 25, 2023 Share #3499 Posted October 25, 2023 The AC bus terminal... you can't sit in the waiting area unless you have a ticket (there's a security guard guarding the area) Issue is, only a small section of seats is open for ppl to sit. Half of the waiting area is roped off and closed. I said screw it and just waited outside for the bus. Today I did an Amtrak to Philly, AC rail line to Atlantic City, 319 back to NYC trip. Gotta make my way back down here to fan the 551. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meadow and Market are both 10 miles away from Hackensack, and I guess that could work. Although Meadowlands would probably run the first Hackensack bound trip of the day as Journal Sq is much closer to Meadow than Market Street 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
