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) I just Googled Spanish Transportation and called the number that came up. Also they have their address and USDOT numbers on the side of the bus. (It's on Barclay Street in Paterson) I personally haven't had any real issues with any of the dollar van companies out in NJ. Spanish Transportation in particular is known to be one of the better companies. Edited August 16, 2023 by checkmatechamp13 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had any issues myself with them either, it just feels so sketchy getting on those vans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted August 21, 2023 Share #3429 Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) The River line will be running on an Sunday schedule until Wednesday. Not sure the reason why but it might be because they have an train shortage due to sets with A/C problems. https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/nj-transit-river-line-air-conditioning-issues/ Edited August 21, 2023 by trainfan22 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted September 5, 2023 Share #3435 Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) There was an Arrow 3 set in service today on the NEC. I was kinda pissed lol because I would have changed plans and rode it but I had already brought an LIRR ticket to Ronkonkoma before I went to track level. Seen it parked in Penn Station. Yeah, I could saved the LIRR ticket for another time but I didn't want to spend too much money today. It was hot and humid and I wanted to do an long commuter rail trip in the A/C to kill the afternoon.

trainfan22 Posted September 7, 2023 Share #3436 Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) NJT cross honoring For PATH this Sunday (no service between Harrison and Journal Square due to track work) https://www.panynj.gov/path/en/planned-service-changes.html Hopefully NJT makes its conductors aware of the cross honoring unlike the MTA, considering PATH is run by Port Authority... a different agency I'm not holding my breath. There will also be shuttle buses between Newark Penn and JSQ. Edited September 7, 2023 by trainfan22 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNR Beacon Line Posted September 11, 2023 Share #3437 Posted September 11, 2023 Can someone explain the difference between the 192 and 199 buses? Looking at the timetable, the 7:45 am PABT departure is a 199 and the 8:00 am PABT departure is a 192. But they make exactly the same stops. So what is the difference 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is the difference Good question...in the past, the #199 used to skip some stops between the Main Line overpass and Page Avenue. But now that note is taken away, so it seems like the main difference is that during rush hours, the #199 serves the loop through Nutley, while the #192 runs straight across NJ-3. But off-peak, they should probably relabel all of those #199 trips to #192 trips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK how many different former public transit paratransit vehicles are being operated around here as dollar van services.... Hell, there's a guy on my block with a rabbit transit vehicle (which I never heard of, up until I googled it some odd years ago, when I first saw that bright ass red vehicle out here)..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
