Posted by Olog-hai on Sat Apr 28 15:53:44 2012, in response to Re: Political efforts to resurrect ''Bergen Loop'' to connect to Amtrak Gateway afoot, posted by Joe V on Sat Apr 28 15:37:46 2012. The 143 and 222 shared the same timetable, which is why NJT combined them into the 113—but when they did that, they cut the service in half, i.e. the 143 and 222 operated double the number of buses over the South Avenue corridor versus the 113 even back in the late 80s. Only significant differences route-wise are that the 143 (today's 113S) terminated on West 7th Street in Plainfield and didn't operate to Dunellen as today, and the 222 (today's 113N) operated via Bayway and got on the NJTP at Exit 13 versus operating on North Avenue and North Broad Street in North Elizabeth and Hillside.The 148 was today's 114; the 114 is virtually identical to the 148. The 140 and 141 are today's 65 and 66 respectively—but the 66 operates via Hillside town (Liberty Avenue) to Vauxhall Road instead of getting on US 22 between North Broad Street/Elizabeth Avenue and Vauxhall Road (this replaced the former route 39/48's operation to Vauxhall Road/Roger Avenue loop, the loop still being in situ). There has been no service to/from Westfield as on the old 141 (which operated via New Providence Road and Mountain Avenue East to get to Broad Street). Most route 65 trips do not go further west than Dunellen, with one terminating in Bound Brook westbound in the AM and two westbound trips reaching Bridgewater Commons. There is one route 66 trip that departs Dunellen at 8:20 AM during the weekdays too. |
