Posted by kknj on Wed Aug 22 02:01:32 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've said before that the current 62 should be cut up into smaller pieces to act as feeders to the rail lines. SIX NJT rail stations are served by this line, and much of it with half hourly or better service on weekdays. The 62 serves Newark-Penn, Elizabeth-Broad Street, Rahway, Metropark, Woodbridge, and Perth Amboy.Under this new split creating the 48 and shorter 62, the 62 will still serve 2 rail stations, and the 48 will serve FIVE (all but Newark-Penn). When the Newark Airport station was built, the intention was to put more passengers onto the rail system and have them use the AirTrain between there and the airline terminals. The 48 will still feed into rail stations where passengers can access the airport via the Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast Lines. And the train will be much faster than the bus ride, which will now also include a bus-to-bus transfer in Elizabeth, where again near the same corner one can also take a train. |
