Posted by kknj on Sat Aug 18 22:25:08 2012, in response to NJT's New 62 line with the new 48 line, posted by SJP7121 on Fri Aug 17 20:21:32 2012. I agree with the above responses. I thought that the service plan published last year called for the split to be at Rahway, not Elizabeth. Rahway would have allowed them to also split the two branches into separate numbers, thus a 3-way split at that point and of course, good feeder service from 3 different directions to the rail lines in Rahway. And I thought the southern branches would have been in the 800's series.I think that whatever numbering scheme was put into place when NJ Transit rationalized its bus system after inheriting Public Service and taking over so many private companies, no longer is observed, probably a new generation of planners who make those decisions. The #177 line for example serves Port Authority Terminal even though it is in the 170-189 range which was conceived for George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal routes. The #2, #6, and #10, while taken over from private companies in Hudson County, defy the 80's numbering range that originally was assigned to that area (though admittedly they ran out of numbers). |
