BreeddekalbL Posted April 2, 2013 Share #101 Posted April 2, 2013 my home route when i lived in NJ was the 114 i noticed that the route changed cause the bus used to take a straight shot on rt 22 when did they change it to where goes right on hillside left onto bloy and then back onto rt 22 when going to bridgewater, and when coming back right on bloy street, left on long ave left on liberty ave right on hillside onto rt 22 to nyc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted April 2, 2013 Share #102 Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Any reason for the 78 and 79 routes outta newark have 2-4 hour headways after the corresponding rush hour when they operate, because it looks like NJT is giving out this service just to do it, without taking account the UPS worker shifts. If anyone has taken the 1:45, and 9:24 PM 79 trips from Newark to Parsippany-Troy Hills, the 4:02 79 trip from East Orange to Parsippany-Troy Hills, the 12:15 PM 79 trip from Parsippany-Troy Hills to Newark, the 9:54 and 11:33 78 buses from Seacacus to Newark, and the 11:00, 1:00, and 3:00 trips to Seacacus on the 78, how do they hold up Edited April 2, 2013 by Q23 Central Terminal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw 9:24 79 leave newark completely empty. They just run to save on DH time gotta get at least 1 person LOL. 79 and 78 only run for worker shifts. my home route when i lived in NJ was the 114 i noticed that the route changed cause the bus used to take a straight shot on rt 22 when did they change it to where goes right on hillside left onto bloy and then back onto rt 22 when going to bridgewater, and when coming back right on bloy street, left on long ave left on liberty ave right on hillside onto rt 22 to nyc? they screwed up 114 BADLY!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that last part, because obliviously if UPS is finding service on this routes then that means workers need the service. I'm talking statistics for the whole route, not one part of the route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share #107 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Got let off in the front of the PA yet again on the 139 for the second week in a row, I think they're actually letting Howell B/Os do that now. About damn time... The Clever Device was also not calling out stops on 9035 or 7113 I rode on last week, looks like they didn't program some of the short turn 139 runs not coming from Lakewood because I looked at the screen on my way out and it was a Schibanoff Road short turn, looking at the schedule the one I was on last week was also a short turn. The Union Hill Park&Ride short turns are programmed though. 63/64 also aren't programmed yet, honestly I can't blame NJT for taking it slow on Route 9 because once they go live on every bus we're gonna hear more than the Clever Device lady on those buses... as much as I like them. And no they haven't disabled them, the PSAs still come on every 10 minutes and I've seen buses that have the announcements working.

qjtransitmaster Posted April 8, 2013 Share #111 Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) wtf you mean? the change of going throught the hillside of neighborhoods? yup. You have no idea how crooked the 114 is you can use it as a local bus to the RVL if you miss a NYC bound bus literally!!! It is like SEPTA's 99 and nowhere near as bad as MTA MD 14. I know that last part, because obliviously if UPS is finding service on this routes then that means workers need the service. I'm talking statistics for the whole route, not one part of the route. Well I am just sayin not suggesting any cuts here. Edited April 8, 2013 by qjtransitmaster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion VII 4 Life Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share #114 Posted April 13, 2013 139 clever devices now programmed for transfer points and "entering whatever town". PSAs are now disabled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTransitMan4608 Posted April 14, 2013 Share #115 Posted April 14, 2013 Academy Perth Amboy has the Clever Devices installed too. They call out stops, Entering towns, transfer points, and still the PSAs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call out stops, Entering towns, transfer points, and still the PSAs. Figured as much now that Veolia has them programmed, Community probably has them programmed by now too and the rest of Academy 22 Hillside's routes. The PSAs I can completely understand disabling on the 139 and other long haulers, I mean to hear the speakers spewing that crap every 10 minutes is more than annoying. I'm thinking Veolia and Academy Perth Amboy might be next for BusTime now that they are 100% NABI and the Clever Devices are programmed.

DaTransitMan4608 Posted April 17, 2013 Share #119 Posted April 17, 2013 Saw a couple of things yesterday. 1) For some strange reason, Academy Perth Amboy's NABIs seem to love me. Because I had 6175 on Saturday, then I saw it again at Metropark yesterday. 2) These Howell drivers must have bad memory or something, because I saw a 137 get off of the GSP and get onto Route 9 in Old Bridge. I guess he thought he was doing the 139. 3) CUSA now has the 5600s doing the 24 (that might not even be news to some). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could've been coming back from NY or he just put that sign up, haven't seen that too much since the Clever Device installation but it's probably still possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the bus driver didn't know how to use clever devices. So instead of 166T to Leonia, the bus had 166T to New York... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was signed up as "137 Toms River/Parkway Exp" but yeah that could be a possibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
