trainfan22 Posted June 17, 2022 Share #2705 Posted June 17, 2022 A bunch of engineers called out sick today. They did it to prove a point, there was an article explaining why NJT engineers called out today but I can't find it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No holiday pay for Juneteenth for engineers, conductors did. Also, compared to MTA and Amtrak, NJT is paying below what those agencies pay their engineers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfs NJT459 Posted June 18, 2022 Share #2707 Posted June 18, 2022 So were buses called to do extra runs from the PABT to areas affected by the cancelled trains such as the 114/Raritan Valley Line 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted June 18, 2022 Share #2709 Posted June 18, 2022 Do a lot of the northern garages have a picked bus system? I’ve seen the same bus # on a lot of the same runs with the 126, 319, 320 and even the 6199 on the 119 repeatedly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranzitfan81 Posted June 19, 2022 Share #2710 Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) I am just hearing about this. Glad everyone's ok. Sadly, this is another blow to the already short Turnersville (Washington Twp) garage. They are now down 4 buses. 18014-ran off the AC Expressway on the 551 18023 and 18032, One bus rear ended the other on the 554 18016 now down due to accident on the 554. From the looks of this, it may be done. I have noticed this garage is suffering already. There are a lot of 5300s being used on all routes ( including the 551 and 554). Newton Avenue has been sending buses down the Freeway to help as well ( both NABI and MCI). Edited June 19, 2022 by Tranzitfan81 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nabis on the mci line is due to a scheduling conflict with mcis not getting back in time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted June 20, 2022 Share #2713 Posted June 20, 2022 If the 137 already serves Toms River, why does the 319 also have to stop there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because not every #137 trip runs express between NYC & Toms River.... There would be even less service on the #319 if it ran nonstop between NYC & Atlantic City. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connections from 139(Old Bridge-Howell) Connections to/from Manahawkin 559 to 319 Connections from Lakewood via the 139/559 Connections from 67L or X Atlantic City connections to Jersey City and Newark and Freehold Penn Plaza workers do not want the 67B 137 is not a full time line, it’s main purpose is rush hour and weekends to allow Toms River ppl to get an empty bus but it’s never enough people to warrant more weekend service. Most of the parkway express 137s are discontinued in the summer because of the 319. 137 Lakewood via Dorodo & Ramp Stop, and 137 Brick Twp local via Dorodo & Ramp stop remain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreeddekalbL Posted June 21, 2022 Share #2717 Posted June 21, 2022 Random thought why do they call the 154 an "express" when it isnt express like other routes the 114 113 165 etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkim87 Posted June 21, 2022 Share #2718 Posted June 21, 2022 I am thinking of taking the bus to Manahawkin (right near where Rt 72 meets Rt 9) from Port Authority on a Saturday in August. There is a 12:30 pm bus (319) which gets to Toms River at 2:05pm, with a transfer to the 2:13pm bus (559). Should I trust this connection from the NJT website, (i.e. are there delays on the Parkway due to beachgoers) or should I leave myself more room to catch the 559? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturdays you shouldn’t have an issue, and weekends 319s are usually 10-15min early to Toms River. The beach traffic starts Wednesday afternoon and lasts until Friday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
