Posted by Olog-hai on Sun Aug 19 12:06:25 2012, in response to Re: NJT's New 62 line with the new 48 line, posted by kknj on Sat Aug 18 22:25:08 2012. The #2, #6, and #10, while taken over from private companies in Hudson County, defy the 80s numbering range that originally was assigned to that area (though admittedly they ran out of numbers)That they did, and they should have reserved some other set of numbers for Hudson County. Of course, if they had exchanged their database for alphanumeric instead of numeric (they still use the obsolete software from the 80s), then they could have invented new alpha prefixes, thereby keeping the original route numbers, and preserved the prefixes from Bergen, Passaic, Monmouth and Middlesex counties. However, it looks like NJT prefers superfluous spending instead of taking care of the real nuts and bolts. (It's still a good idea that they no longer have two different buses with route number 1 leaving from Journal Square, though; but with alpha prefixes, at least you'd be able to distinguish as well as having two separate route numbers.) I don't see the new route 48 doing well as planned here. The St. Georges Avenue corridor should have a direct ride to the airport at least. |
