DCTransitFilms Posted July 29, 2023 Share #3407 Posted July 29, 2023 Could there be alternatives for the 31 and 32? The 32 does get some ridership from my experience but the 31 is a hole in the wall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. The 30 and 33 are always full of people, especially during the school year. If NJ Transit don't develop a backup plan, I don't know if you been to the square during rush hour, but it'll get even worse.

I've been trying to figure the 32 since I heard the news. No other bus goes anywhere near 440 (the 1 bus yes but it's stops are by lincoln park). I think something should replace that line but limited. The 31 is mostly a lost cause. People use it yes but not like how it was years ago.

Just increase 80S services throughout the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode the 31 recently and barely anyone even got on the bus. I believe once the 31 stopped serving inside the mall was a factor of low ridership. The 80S would need to be increased for sure. However I'm also unsure how the 32 could be replaced as you are right there's isn't a nearby alternative. Plus nobody really gets on/off along Mallory Avenue . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted August 8, 2023 Share #3410 Posted August 8, 2023 Has anyone heard of the PABT - Paterson jitneys being extended to Willowbrook Mall? Not sure if this extension made it through COVID, but if it did, good for folks living along the #712 route west of Downtown Paterson, and good for those jitney operators recognizing the need/demand for extra service. https://www.jerseyjitneys.info/?page_id=11 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Northside area is just flat-out neglected transportation-wise. The #744/748 don't run on Sundays, and the #703 runs on Sundays but ends in Downtown Paterson. And once you get away from the river it starts getting hilly to boot. In any case, if this route extension still exists, then they can actually catch it on the West Broadway side (along with the #703/748). For anyone heading to Willowbrook Mall, I'm sure it's more reliable than the #748, and more convenient than walking into Downtown Paterson for the #704/712. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted August 8, 2023 Share #3413 Posted August 8, 2023 I called Spanish Transportation and unfortunately they don't operate that extension anymore.

It shocks me how sketchy and non-communicative that company is, and yet they can legally run all over NJ (and frankly do a better job than NJT, even if it feels like you are on a bus in a third world country) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way how njt specs their buses, more specifically the ISX12 and X12 caused these buses to live in the shop. Meadowlands has over 35 21000s out of service. It took 5 years to work out the bugs in the 18000s and they still breaking down. 18089 was in the shop 2/3 of the time and most times they just ran it to make service. The 17000s we got are not going to last at eht with the 24hr work we do and a 67mph gov; they are literally choking the buses to an early grave. They worked at decamp because they don’t do relentless driving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
