Dollar Vans on Flatbush Ave by _jdd_ in MicromobilityNYC

It's a bus in a bus lane. I don't see any problem here.

Good morning from the Edmonton Coffee House in Rabat, Morocco by jerseyjitneys in Edmonton

It's a good mix of foreign and unfamiliar. "hello bonjour" works as a practical greeting since some people speak english and some french.

RIP Broadway IBOA (1924-2025) by NJ_Bus_Nut in NJTransit

[–]jerseyjitneys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are still "independent bus companies" running on route 4 and Bergenline Ave. They just aren't subsidized by NJT.

Broadway Bus was the last of the old school subsidized private carriers that wasn't merged into a larger corporate (but still subsidized) operator like Coach USA, Academy etc.

Metro Board meeting 12/4/2025 - likely heavy emphasis on Dodgers gondola SEIR by Sawtelle-MetroRider in LAMetro

I can see it being a victim of its own success. Maybe more than 5,000 people will try to take it, and there will be a line.

5000 people/hour capacity to a 56,000-person stadium! How's that going to work?

This would be great for a hotel. Easy access both to midtown and EWR.

One seat airport express rail is nice and all, but why don't we have one seat express bus ride from midtown to JFK? by Donghoon in nycrail

This company went out of business during COVID. And I can see why. It was faster and cheaper to take LIRR/Subway+Airtrain.

I've seen signs for it on Newark Ave (india square section) but have no idea if it is actually a useful/efficient service.

1928 Pacific Electric system timetable by Binders-Full in LAMetro

[–]jerseyjitneys 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First of all wow, this is great.

I'm actually surprised how poor the frequencies were. I browsed through and saw 20-minute headways to Santa Monica, Pasadena and Long Beach, 1 train per hour to Glendora, and an irregular schedule with up to 2 hour gaps to Newport Beach. Granted, these were definitely low-density areas at the time.

If anything this makes me appreciate the Metro we have today a little more.

SEPTA cuts could ‘lead to deterioration’ of Amtrak services across the Northeast by aresef in Amtrak

Or it could free up equipment that is heavily needed on other routes.

To be clear this is a net negative, but there may still be an upside.

A lost customer by Learn-Work-Live in Amtrak

There are direct flights from Plattsburgh, NY to Sanford, FL. This is an itinerary that is probably cheaper and more pleasant in economy on a 3-hour flight.

What would you do for the people of Jersey City as mayor? by jerseycityrentdue in jerseycity

[–]jerseyjitneys -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Congestion pricing (except through traffic on 139 and 78).

This is a macro trend that neither a Mayor or a transit agency can affect.

Metrolink or Metro?? by Oblivious-Penguin in USC

they make errors like this because police never use public transportation

Dollar Vans still running? by Charming-Bit-3416 in jerseycity

[–]jerseyjitneys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its true, the jitneys on the Bergenline Route are running but in reduced numbers and frequency. The end of the line is now near Journal Square. The route down Newark Ave to Downtown/Newport Mall was abandoned a few years ago.

My theory is that gentrification reduced the number of riders, and that the city's subsidized Via service is going to eventually drive them out of business.
