qjtransitmaster Posted November 8, 2013 Share #402 Posted November 8, 2013 Nothing Veolia runs here is reliable... 836 20 minutes late today. But yeah, let's renew their contract over and over... So you suggest a takeover and then restructuring? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share #403 Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) So you suggest a takeover and then restructuring? A simple re-award of the contract to another operator (Academy anyone?) would be nice. Veolia in Monmouth has proven themselves to be a shit operation, not talking about Veolia as a whole but this location. Not really possible now that NJT has just renewed all its contracts with its contractors, assuming no-bid and without taking into account customer complaints (and they get them with Veolia).

DaTransitMan4608 Posted November 9, 2013 Share #406 Posted November 9, 2013 You mean academy has issues too? Not as bad as Veolia's (though I never seem to have any issue when it comes to them) but yeah you got some drivers who have come as late as 30 minutes, there's this one guy I've talked about before who speaks bad English, is rude, and can never show up on time for anything. And the buses aren't timed very well with each other, and that's because they only have like 36 buses. If anything, NJT should take over the Middlesex ops, and order another 40 NABIs for the Middlesex 800s. But that's just my suggestion.

It just left Penn Station Well whoever gets the next big order of 1500 cruisers I hope NJT will make the numbering simple. Because right now who can make sense of the MCI numbering they are all over the place. 40 footers and 45 footers mixed from 7000's into 9000's . Maybe 1000's for 40ft or 3000's for 45 ft buses. Unless they only get 45 ft buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion VII 4 Life Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share #410 Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Weird observations on the new NABIs A&C is getting... I could not see the Clever Device touchscreen, at least not in its usual spot, and the Luminator ODK was out and open above the driver's window. I'm guessing A&C might not have liked being forced to use the Clever Device to set up the signs, IDK. Even if the touchscreen isn't there, there are still Clever Device units in the buses, since the cone-shaped antenna is there on the roof and they even do the "caution bus is turning" thing now. They just seem be like the MTA's though, running the AVM software (if A&C even uses it), the stop request ding and now the turn warning. Guess there goes any hope of the announcements being programmed for A&C, and it'll be interesting to see if the rest of the PBL NABIs are built like that for Broadway Bus and CUSA. There were also 2 RTSs on the 4 today. Edited November 16, 2013 by Orion VII 4 Life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Unlikely already suggested a takeover of 800 routes then a complete overhaul that replaces most of em except 819,818&817 merging em into commuter routes that also pass through SI to different parts of Hudson county too much to go over in one post with more LTD routes in Hudson county. It would go way over your head if I wasted it here. It involved way too much balls to work. Plus due to supply I doubt they would have been able to pull it off anyway.

DaTransitMan4608 Posted November 17, 2013 Share #413 Posted November 17, 2013 Well yesterday after work, I did some fanning. We start at Brunswick Square Mall, where I caught: 6174- 818 to New Brunswick. Man this bus was crowded, like 815 on a Saturday crowded. Then I arrived in New Brunswick where I didn't have to wait long for: 6159- 810 to Woodbridge Center They need to take that bus off of Route 1. Its full of SI-ers going to Menlo to do there shopping. Stopped over and grabbed something to eat in the mall before catching: 5648- 48 to Elizabeth Okay, now this bus was PACKED. I was lucky to even find a seat, but it became less packed as we traveled along. Mind you it was pitch black and I had no idea where I was. Once I got to Elizabeth, I walked to catch the 62, where I gave $2 to a beggar before catching: 5596- 62 to Newark Penn Station via Airport/Ikea Not really much about this ride, except when I got off and ran across Raymond Blvd, and tried to flag down a 67 which sped right past me no matter how much I tried to get the driver's attention. Angry, I went into Penn Station to file a complaint, but they weren't open so I have to report the guy when I find the time. Anyway, I ended up spending damn near $10 on a train ticket back to Matawan. -The end Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted November 23, 2013 Share #421 Posted November 23, 2013 I don't know whether to post this here or in the MTA forum but MTA's Trip Planner has a couple of NJ destinations (Newark-Penn and Meadowlands in addition to the intermediate NJT stations for MNRR's West of Hudson service) and actually displays accurate (more or less) NJT train info. I'm going to the Meadowlands tomorrow and it's nice to see that I don't have to go to two different websites to get travel directions. Only problem with MTA Trip Planner is it doesn't display NJT Line names (like NEC, Long Beach Branch, etc.), it will just display "TRENTON TRANSIT CENTER bound NJ TRANSIT train." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go25 Posted December 1, 2013 Share #424 Posted December 1, 2013 Another thing I noticed, this time its about the PCCs that are left: First; any word on the proposed loop to be built at the old Military Ocean Terminal in Bayonne? I know they have 8 PCCs wrapped and waiting to be refurbished at the HBLR shop but why don't NJT use them for special ssrvice on the HBLR? And the same goes for the Newark Light Rail. I happen to take it from Grove St to Penn Station and I saw 2 of them sitting outside the shop rusting and falling in disrepair. Does NJT uses them for maintenance cause if not why not refurbish them for special service like a throwback theme/day? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
