Sure does....I think greenviile should take this route either make an 81N or simply have the current 81 serve both newport and ex place...Just my opinion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted February 20, 2019 Share #1858 Posted February 20, 2019 I don't see NJT picking up the #4 as a standalone route.... I'm not so certain that they'll fuse it into some current service either.... I will admit though that bus service to/around Newport Mall sucks..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Greenville Garage and it's the strangest thing. None of the current routes serve Newport Mall. The closest route to Newport Mall they have is the 126 Jersey City - Hamilton Park during rush hour. The only NJ TRANSIT route I can think of that goes into Newport Mall is route 86, but that's from Meadowlands Garage and it serves Union City. AC Bus Corp has its Montgomery & Westside Route to Newport Mall. Other than that, the Hudson-Bergen Lightrail gets the bulk of the ridership to the mall. It's going suck really bad now because the light rail stations: Westside Ave, MLK Drive and Garfield will be close for year because of pipelines underneath the rails need replacement. Who's going to do bus shuttle service is up in the air. Rush hour will be a drag, need to have service up until 2am. I know Mountgomery & Westside route will be slammed crush loads to the Mall while the 80 and 87 perhaps as well if people want to take Path from Journal Sq. to the mall or 80 to Exchange Place. Those extra buses from the 4 line would come in handy to help the M&W route Edited February 21, 2019 by Ron2themax 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't remotely implicating that NJT isn't susceptible to taking over any routes..... That said, I think what you brought up earlier (an #81N or whatever) would happen before they take over the #4... Well, as is anyway. If they do end up taking the thing over, they're going to be frugal as shit about it - and (as always) the riders are going to feel the effects of it. 1 hour ago, Ron2themax said: That's when the politicians like the major of Jersey City and Council comes in.

JAzumah Posted February 23, 2019 Share #1866 Posted February 23, 2019 I inquired as to whether private carrier equipment would be assigned to the A&C 4 in the future and I was told no. That means either NJT is going to run it or it is going to go away. It could also be that the 6 service is increased and Journal Square is used as a transfer point for Newport Mall. It may be possible to operate a route like the 4 with reduced weekday midday frequencies coordinated with the 6. That means you are running it with one bus during the midday hours. The sketch I had on paper would run it with a Grove Street short turn alternating with a Newport Mall bus during rush hours. The Saturday and Sunday schedules look like an effort to run the route with two buses and I think that should be maintained if possible. However, if they do not think it is worth it, then I am not sure I should invest the energy either. Academy's Sayreville run is a lot more interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
