New Jersey buses in Mid-Manhattan |
|
|
Posted by Andy on Tue Sep 8 21:41:21 2009 Recently I have noticed a large number of New Jersey-based buses laying over in West Midtown, near the PABT. The equipment is school-type and mini-type buses, and they are signed for Paterson and Fairview.My questions are: Why does NJ license these operators to compete with NJ Transit and the other subsidized bus operators? How do these operators' fares and schedules compare with NJT and the subsidized operators? Why does NYC permit them to clog the streets of West Midtown? The original reason for building the PABT in 1950 was to eliminate commuter and interstate buses on the city streeets. When I was walking across 8th Ave. at 40th Street today one of those Jersey buses blocked all eastbound traffic on 40th as it waited to turn north onto 8th. |
