Odd to see a local Community Route on a Sunday schedule I've always said that NJ Transit should've expand bus route 705 to Sunday service It is because of the amount of Willowbrook Mall shoppers and some workers that come from Clifton and majority of them from Passaic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drivers have to put a 703 sign on the windshield. Anyhow, this is going to be very interesting. I would hope that NJDOT, NJ Transit, Turnpike Authority, the municipalities that are close by the highway network are prepared for what's to come during the holiday shopping season. That was very strategic on the Mall developers part to open before holiday season. I expect heavy police presence and mad mall security 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfs NJT459 Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share #31 Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) NJT will hold public hearings on the American Dream Bus service, which also includes the expansion of the 772, and a proposed premium fare increase on the new 355.https://www.njtransit.com/tm/tm_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=PH2To Edited September 10, 2019 by mfs NJT459 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think a little further, it'll be quicker to get the 85 to the mall then the 2 and then transfer for those in Jersey City, people are going to stand at those 5/6 bus stops within jersey city line along the 85 to get there.

NJ Transit’s new 355 express bus to American Dream retail and entertainment complex will cost adults a $9 fare in each direction or $18 round trip, said Jim Smith, a spokesman. Football fans who ride the 351 Coach USA bus between New York and MetLife Stadium pay a $14 round trip fare for the same 20-minute trip. https://www.nj.com/traffic/2019/10/the-only-mass-transit-to-the-american-dream-mall-is-the-bus-and-its-going-to-be-pricey.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Script Posted October 7, 2019 Share #36 Posted October 7, 2019 Quote The 356 bus which will run between Secaucus Junction train station and American Dream will cost $2.55, one way, which is a two-zone adult fare, Smith said. Both the 355 and 356 routes are still scheduled to start running on Oct. 25, he said. That concedes with opening day for American Dream. Well at least the 356 will be a whole lot cheaper which is fine for someone like me if I ever go there. https://www.nj.com/traffic/2019/10/the-only-mass-transit-to-the-american-dream-mall-is-the-bus-and-its-going-to-be-pricey.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted October 7, 2019 Share #38 Posted October 7, 2019 $9.00 is too high. Not even a ride out to Willowbrook costs that much. I would have thought a $6 fare or something would be more reasonable. Unless they are trying to attract mainly tourists from New York, I'm not sure how this route will do, even with its half hourly frequencies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJT can kiss my whole ass with some 9 dollars to a glorified swamp.... Reading them comments in that nj.com page, man... I'm not paying one red cent to park at nobody's mall either....

Silver Script Posted October 8, 2019 Share #43 Posted October 8, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if the 356 gets more ridership since it's only $2.55 one way or $5.10 round trip. Should be an interesting first day to see which of the two lines gets more riders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be an interesting first day to see which of the two lines gets more riders. I just looked up the fare to Secaucus Junction. $4.25 So that's $4.25 + 2.55 = $6.80 or $13.60 Round Trip. A savings of $2.20 each way ($4.40 total)., But there's the convenience of not having to wait up to 30 mins for a transfer to the bus. (I think they want to reduce barriers to the mall by those unfamiliar with NJ) The train ride is about 10 mins, not sure how long the bus ride will be.

So overall I would be spending at least $14.60 in bus fare between the three lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the ideas are good as far as bus travel, but it can be better. I mean, if there an increase of people trying to get to the mall, will NJT increase service? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jass Posted October 9, 2019 Share #50 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Another option has emerged, but its really stupid. Quote For New Yorkers, the $16 one-way fare includes shuttle bus transportation in Manhattan to NY Waterway’s West 39th Street ferry terminal, a ferry ride and bus transportation from the Port Imperial ferry terminal to American Dream. For New Jersey shoppers, they can take an NY Waterway shuttle bus from Port Imperial to and from American Dream for a $7 one-way fare. https://www.nj.com/traffic/2019/10/ferry-from-nyc-another-nj-bus-just-added-to-american-dream-transit-options.html Edited October 9, 2019 by jass 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
