Many of the New Jersey IBOAs took on Public Service/Transport of New Jersey by using the exact same route numbers to compete on the same route. In the early 70s, the combination of TNJ and South Orange Avenue IBOA resulted in service on the 31 every *2* minutes during rush hours.Kind of like the relationship between the 126 and Red Apple (later Academy) before the private Washington service was discontinued... Do you think NJ will see a return of this sort of service model, or a return of the IBOA model, being that NJT has cut bus service in a lot of places? How exactly did the IBOA model work? My understanding is that basically, each driver was an independent contractor and they pooled their resources to operate the route... the contractors owned their own buses and could hire drivers to drive them... is this correct at all? That's sort of how the FedEx Ground system works. In any case, I know the "Spanish Buses" slaughtered many of the Hudson County routes, as well as the 171 and to a lesser extent the 74. The 190 is still going strong, but some service has been scaled back recently (gutting of Delawanna service on weekends for example). |
