If anything, you will see the zones redrawn to be more equivalent around the state. When they were last done in the 80s, they were supposed to be approximately 4 miles in size, with the city of Newark always being a 1-zone ride. but there were libertie4s taken with some of the PABT routes... for example the 155-157-165-166-167-168 all have Hackensack, Teaneck, and most of Englewood in zone 3, implying they are just 8 miles from the state line inside the Lincoln Tunnel... yeah right. Having lived in Teaneck for 34 years, I can tell you that should be zone 4, because it's 12 miles from the Lincoln Tunnel's midpoint. That's an extra interstate zone NJT is losing from thousands of passengers every day. That inequity also helped kill off a lot of GWB service because, west of Teaneck Road, those routes are also in zone 3. If you're in Hackensack, want to go to New York, and both GWB and PABT service are the same price, which bus are you taking? |
