Half of the waiting area is roped off and closed. I said screw it and just waited outside for the bus. Worse than half the waiting area... It's ridiculous... It's only the first 2 rows of seating proximate to the Atlantic av side of the terminal (meaning, proximate to the local routes on street level).... Was out in AC 2 Saturdays ago... Had to scurry to said seating area to sit down to sift through my bag (thought I lost something at the time).... Security was there, but dude didn't enforce shit (there were 2 people snoring their asses off, as a matter of fact - 1 guy with his mouth open... yuck).... I never got the sense that you have to have a ticket to sit down in those seats.... Now Penn Station (NYC), they are absolutely anal about having a LIRR ticket in order to sit in that sectioned off room/area of seating by the escalators.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Meadowlands would probably run the first Hackensack bound trip of the day as Journal Sq is much closer to Meadow than Market Street Yeah thats exactly how they should do it...I only mention market st cause the end terminal is not far from the garage...It could be similar to how now orange and big tree helps the # 1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure why about the relocations, but I can tell you that a month after we had our regular September pick, NJT took the 101 and 105 from Oradell and gave them to us at Wayne, thus making us undergo an emergency pick along with the training of those lines Edited October 27, 2023 by 46Dover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted October 29, 2023 Share #3514 Posted October 29, 2023 I'm happy that I left NJT, because all these emergency picks are overwhelming. Speaking of, who here has operated a 319 down to Wildwood?

They stopped meadowlands from going down to Wildwood back in 2020. They used to do the and 830am trip to Cape May then dhd back to AC and pull the 5pm to NYC. Then on sat/sun they did Wildwood Exp or Ocean City Exp, and Cape May Exp to NYC local to north wildwood. By 2020 they only had a Sunday trip that left the garage at 1045am and did the 115 cape may express to nyc. Then discontinued. It’s a nice ride, all your doing is going in and out of the islands via the parkway. Only island you served fully was Ocean City/Avalon/Stone Harbor. Summer its busy and fall/winter it’s dead and boring. Register you would setup 1-37 or 39 if going to cape may. 31 Atlantic City 32 Ocean City 33 Dead Zone 34 Ocean View/Sea Isle 35 Avalon 36 Stone Harbor 37 Wildwood 38 Lower Twp 39 Cape May 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpn4179 Posted November 1, 2023 Share #3521 Posted November 1, 2023 On 10/26/2023 at 9:58 PM, B35 via Church said: What's the reasoning behind those relocations (and/or, why do you think/know those changes were made) ? Greyhound and Peter Pan consolidated all of their operations into the Lower Level of North Wing Post-Covid (They both had a couple of gates out of South Wing, Lower Level). Then DeCamp discontinued their commuter routes, leaving more vacant gates in the lower level of South Wing. Lakeland started to use a couple of gates out of the Lower level, and either Lakeland, Port Authority or both parties thought it was best to relocate all of Lakeland's routes downstairs to the lower level. Lakeland move all of their routes to the former DeCamp gates on the lower level. With this move, this allowed NJ Transit to utilize Lakeland's former gates to consolidate all of their routes during the day to the 200's, 300's and 51-56 gates, only using the Greyhound gates during the late night hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
