How exactly is that "supply and demand" when you want to specify the suppliers? Most of the jitney operators are properly licensed and registered with NJDOT/NJMVC and USDOT/FMCSA. Are there issues with drivers? Yes, but NJT has the same issues as evidenced by recent employees being caught by passengers in various illegal acts at the wheel. They likely need increased inspections of vehicles, drivers, logbooks, etc., but they serve the same purpose as the old IBOAs in Essex and Hudson counties did against Public Service.The jitneys didn't destroy service to the GWB on the 171 or any other route. The GWBBS just isn't convenient for commuters when the majority of employment is in midtown and lower Manhattan. The jitneys don't compete with the 175, 178, 182, or 186... and they have cut service just as much as the 171. Rockland just dumped almost all of their GWB routes for the same reason. |
