Seems like we are doing the 10, 22, 119. We are also oddly enough still doing the 86 and 89 🤔 With the acquisition of the 119, gate changes at Port Authority are coming too. I’ve been told I can no longer camp out on the 4th floor because it’ll start getting a little more active now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if now Academy took NJT to court over the 119. There will be a final ruling next week. What Academy needs to understand the 119 is not their line. It’s NJT. NJT can take back any contracted route they own. That is true. I don't want coach or academy to get the 119. On 5/25/2022 at 10:00 AM, 127Ridgefield said: Wow!

Every time I am at Congress St passengers always saying “where is the 119 I’ve been here for over a hour!” lol It's worst on the weekend. The 119 and the 10. When the 119 shows up it doesn't have a lot of people on it, but because I'm not going past Journal Square, the driver tells me to wait for the 10, which is crowded to the front. Since coach took over, it just took a nosedive on the 119. I waited in Bayonne for a hour and a half. On 5/25/2022 at 10:56 AM, Lawrence St said: That’s partially why transit has been trying to fastrak the acquisition of that line. But transit should have gotten the 119 from the start when Red & Ran went out of business. In what universe do you think giving a high ridership, one hour and a half long route to NYC to a private carrier a good idea? And what makes it even more mind boggling is that they’re sending the 10 to Greenville instead of Meadowlands, when artics need to be on the 10 as well. I also thought 119 should have went to NJ Transit from the start. As for Greenville, to be honest, taking the 10 wouldn't be so bad since the garage sits in a nice spot. Plus, they can set some routes up at city line of Bayonne. It would even be nice to split it with Meadowlands. On 5/29/2022 at 10:29 AM, 553 Bridgeton said: And the 23 and a ton of runs on combos. Some 119s are scheduled for artics and some are nabis. The 23 is a route that could either be good or bad, depending on the ridership. I mean, it's an interesting route, but would it be as miss if it ended? Would like to see 119 artics, but to me, it'll be great for rush-hours only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted May 30, 2022 Share #2655 Posted May 30, 2022 Are all of Meadowlands’s 18XXX’s buses out of service? There hasn’t been a single one on the 319 trips for the past 3 days, they’ve all been the 7170 series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently egg Harbor only has 4 of the 11 lavs available for service. 18109 is on the 830 from PABT. And 2 Eht lavs broke down yesterday. Honestly idk how any of these 18000-21000s are passing dot inspections. Give the 22000s a few more months when the oem parts start to need replacing and they’ll be in the same boat. The transmission control unit on the 18000-22000s are a big issue. 18098 is on its 2nd transmission because of that and currently out of service. 18099 transmission control unit went yesterday.

Then you go inside the general area where the RR trains are... Before you specifically reach the RR tracks though, as soon as you walk inside that part of the terminal, you walk to your right (like @nightmare402 said) & there are a couple TVM's... There's about 3, 4, or 5 of them (don't remember the exact number of them right this second, but the point is, there are TVM's at Hoboken terminal).... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted June 3, 2022 Share #2673 Posted June 3, 2022 Unpopular opinion: All New York lines should be pickup or drop off only. Example: The 167 should not be used to serve local passengers between Dumont & Degraw Ave, when there’s 6 other local lines that do the same thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
