All those jitneys started out illegally. Back when NJT could have stopped them they took little action. Mostly NJT just flooded the routes involved with extra sections and thought that would work. Of course it didn't since NJT buses are highly regulated and the jitneys can be flexible. So in time the jitneys got more and more popular through more frequent and less expensive service, primarily on runs through minority area and highly lucrative ones like Blvd East in Hudson County. Inter vehicle radios, which NJT buses don't have, helped the jitneys stay ahead of the buses. And, in time, they obtained licensing and credibility with the police and regulatory agencies. That monster was allowed to grow by inaction. Today they operate a fleet of vehicles almost as large as the buses. |
