The big guys have done it too... Suburban took on NJT for the 139... NJT responded by flooding US9 with enough buses to lower their average low to 37 per bus (this was the mid 80s, so it was 49-passenger MC-9s at the time). Ended up in court, and NJT was forced to pool with Suburban because the federal judge was blocking NJT's allotment of the 1987 MC-9s. That's also how Suburban got some of the Eagles.Several of the IBOAs drove Public Service/TNJ/NJT from routes in Newark and Hudson County, usually by undercutting the fares while running the same full-size buses. (Ironically, some of the Hudson County routes that had been run by PS/TNJ and were taken over in full by IBOAs later returned to NJT ownership.) |
