Posted by kcram3500 on Fri Mar 5 14:27:35 2010 NJT Budget Challenge OverviewNJT Fare Proposal NJT Rail service change proposal NJT Bus Operations service change proposal NJT contract bus service change proposals NJT Light Rail service change proposals Public Hearing Schedule Online Comment Page Summary: Fares would increase an average of 25%... one-zone intrastate bus would rise from $1.35 to $1.70. A 3-zone trip to PABT would rise from $3.40 to $4.25. Bus service cuts for NJTBO are mostly cuts of runs and schedule adjustments for longer headways on some routes. For the NT contract routes, a lot of WHEELS routes would be cut. Most of the county contract packages would lose 1 or 2 routes, and in Bergen, the 772 would lose Saturday service. The biggest hack is Morris County Metro - they would lose ALL service except for the MCM-10. ----- Definitely a major system change. I credit NJT for working quickly and putting the information out there in a clear, comprehensive way. |
