Silver Script Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted August 21, 2019 NJ Transit really should think about adding extra service on the 1 and 25. Those two lines can be pretty damn packed with how often I catch either and it doesn't help with the 1 line when drivers show up when they want to making people like me and whoever else wait about 20+ minutes during rush hour which makes no sense when it should be every few minutes. Even worse when school is in session. You would likely find yourself having to wait about 40 minutes for a 1 to show up because there's too big of a gap in wait times and then when the bus does show up it's usually about two or three in a row all packed causing you to have to wait again. I can only imagine the frustration. But, I guess not enough people are complaining to have that happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfs NJT459 Posted August 21, 2019 Share #4 Posted August 21, 2019 You can also add the 502, 507, 509, 553 (overnight), 554, 559 long term detour in Pleasantville has ended and will return to normal routing. 319 adding a new stop at the new park/ride on GSP Exit 58 is kind of a big deal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the 319 info is already there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron2themax Posted August 22, 2019 Share #6 Posted August 22, 2019 It's one of the reasons why they should approve the option order of the extra 85 artics on top of the base order of 85. NJT should consider putting artics on both of those lines. I understand those routes have tight turn radiases at corners and loops. This is the perfect time for transit to do their homework by putting some artics on a few runs and see what areas of the routes are hiccups and what solutions to come up with to make routes 1 and 25 artic friendly. If not artics then you might as well put let's say 25 or so standard length buses on those routes to relieve the overcrowding on weekdays. Question is do they have the extra drivers and equipment? That's the problem 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron2themax Posted August 22, 2019 Share #7 Posted August 22, 2019 Fianlly the 119 gets it's 7 days a week service. That was a stupid decision by transit not to have Sunday service during the transition of the route being run by Academy after Red & Tan folded 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem Last month I have seen a neoplan being used on the 1 like 2 or 3 times. I'm not sure how difficult it would be to drive that bus along that route but, it does seem possible. And since Hilton be using nabi's on the 39 often, they could make use of the neoplans and using those on the 1 and 25 during afternoon rush hours would help with the overcrowding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The times that I did see a neoplan being used was when the bus was going to Euclid Ave or Journal Square. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted August 24, 2019 Share #14 Posted August 24, 2019 The 186 improvements are sorely needed. Too bad they couldn't make all evening service hourly instead of the 90 minute headways it currently has, but it is a start. They should look into improving the weekend schedule too. Not only does it end relatively early, but it's hourly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted August 25, 2019 Share #15 Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) Weekend service every hour on #409 trips doing the full route seems excessive.... Very excessive. Side note: They're getting rid of the Bridge st. trips, but the Grand Marketplace has been dead for years now & they're still going to continue to have buses wasting time looping in & out of that place.... There's weeds growing up from the ground in spots in the parking lot for f***s sake! Reminds me very much of the old Nanuet mall & the Red & Tan/Rockland Coaches #20 still serving that dump..... Anyway, just have buses (409's) serve Country Club Plaza & be done with it..... Edited August 25, 2019 by B35 via Church 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
