go25 Posted March 27, 2014 Share #3 Posted March 27, 2014 Simple, ridership goes a lot on weekends to the mall and/or the Best Buy/Target at Vauxhall where the service is frequent on that part of the line. And also no ones wants to walk from the nearest bus stop which is Millburn & Springfield Ave As a former #70 dependant commuter I know that route's crushloads as well as the times when the runs are pretty much empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Script Posted March 27, 2014 Share #4 Posted March 27, 2014 I remembered last year when I was on the 70 going to Summit in the morning, it was a sunday and I was on a Nabi surprisingly that started from Irvington Terminal and it broke down past Hilton Garage and all of us had to wait for the next 70 which ended up being a Neoplan When that bus came it was super packed, one would think "Why not send out one from the garage? we're only a block away" but I won't question that so I agree with what go25 said.

go25 Posted March 27, 2014 Share #6 Posted March 27, 2014 depends on the day (weekdays or weekends). if its a weekday more than likely anything from Summit up to the Newark/Irvington line and vice versa. Thats where the line gets the bulk of their customers (Any route that serves Springfield Ave in Irvington will get crushed btw.) Weekends are a different beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
