DaTransitMan4608 Posted March 21, 2016 Share #1651 Posted March 21, 2016 Wait, so you rode it from the Perth (as I call it) or from Woodbridge mall? (I'm asking b/c on the old #62, the Carteret branch garnered less ridership than the Woodbridge mall branch.....) From Woodbridge Mall. I've been on both branches. The Carteret branch had heavier ridership both times I rode it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted March 23, 2016 Share #1652 Posted March 23, 2016 From Woodbridge Mall. I've been on both branches. The Carteret branch had heavier ridership both times I rode it. (Of any time you took the 48) How was the turnover b/w the 48 & the 62? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a few people from the 48 transfer to the 62 but that was about it. Would you guys say that the 48-62 transfer is more popular, vs. the 48-24 transfer, or are they about the same? (Meaning, of #48 riders heading north past Elizabeth, are more looking for service towards EWR or towards Newark itself?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Meaning, of #48 riders heading north past Elizabeth, are more looking for service towards EWR or towards Newark itself?) Currently, I have no idea..... What I can say is, I do not believe that the amount of people that used to take the old 62 north of Elizabeth comes close to the amount of people that are doing the 48-24 xfer.... I also believe that there were more riders taking the old 62 from points south of Elizabeth to points north of Elizabeth, compared to the amt. of people that are doing the 48-(current 62) xfer..... Another way of saying that is, the old 62 (well, which is today's 62) b/w Elizabeth & Newark was more popular than the 24 .... Highly doubt that's changed since the old 62 got split, but I could be wrong.... I would be shocked that more riders (by a very noticeable margin) are doing the 48-24 trip over the 48-62 trip.... I would be a little surprised of the amount of ppl. coming off 48's are xferring to either of those two routes at a relatively equal rate..... To be perfectly honest, Transitkid's assessments are confirming my suspicions.... The 48 Carteret spur has maintained its usage (compared with the old 62), while the 48 Woodbridge mall has likely lost ridership.... Why? Because more of those folks were coming from areas north of Elizabeth.... I find that those that took the Carteret Branch weren't doing too much riding past Elizabeth..... The only real advantage the 24 had over the 62 was JG (Jersey Gardens... or whatever its called now) itself.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both branches go to Woodbridge Mall on the weekends IINM. However I will say, the Carteret branch did a lot better in terms of ridership compared to the Iselin-Metropark branch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbr40 Posted April 5, 2016 Share #1659 Posted April 5, 2016 can anyone tell me why 834 is the only bus route that have a stars in the back of the bus. all the other like 817, 831, 832, 833 and 835 have the number in the back. It just the 834? i find that weird. also i think the destination sign should say highland or red bank at all times since most of the trips run via new monmouth road. They should add via tindall road instead when they need to cut thru that street. I understand tindal road was the main road before the township want the bus to pass the senior citizen on new monmouth road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have Hudson, Passaic, Morris, and Bergen Counties. On the Essex County map, 90% of those are Newark feeder routes, so they all kind of blend together.

go25 Posted June 15, 2016 Share #1669 Posted June 15, 2016 Service changes upcoming to some of the local routes in Northern NJ: 10: Will no longer have late night service. Service via Sip Ave terminated. 88: Service via Central Avenue on both directions terminated. 119: Inherited the late night service from the 10 route. Also will have the Central Ave service from the 88C absorbed. Just some of the major changes on some routes. Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted June 18, 2016 Share #1670 Posted June 18, 2016 The one time that I did the 88C, I only had a handful of riders go down Central. Service was only eliminated Monday-Saturday. It will still operate on Sundays. As for the 10/119 changes, they had wanted to make the 119 run overnight for a while now and this was the way to implement it. They gave us more time to run the trips now. The trips between 12-3am will still carry the same amount of people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted July 25, 2016 Share #1675 Posted July 25, 2016 Are NJT bus tickets valid on the Coach USA bus route 31 from Newark to Livingston Mall? There's three bus routes that travel between those two points (NJT 70 & 73 routes and Coach USA's 31 route) if you buy a bus ticket from the TVM at Newark Penn, could you use it on the 31 route? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
