Unlike New York, in New Jersey each company owns its routes. There are no franchises handed out by a government department. If two companies are competing, they both have ownership of it. NJ Transit operates as a private company in this regard; they get no special treatment for being a public corporation. Any company that thinks they can do better than NJT on one of their routes can start service against them. There are a few "treaty" agreements where established companies have agreed to stay out of each other's territories, but not much else. |
