Yeh but there is not enough west of High Bridge up to P-Burg to justify it. It is very low density. Small, commercially dead towns, the biggest thing around is the Bloomsbury Truck Stop at Exit 12.RVL at High Bridge and Annandale have 72 and 82 loadings per day. Clinton Park & Ride has 300. Annandale lot for Jersey City and lower Manhattan's 5 buses are even more. People overwhelmingly choose the bus over the train in the Clinton area. You can't tell an unsubsidized, private carrier to stop serving it. I could see it if it became part of an inter-city service that ran to Reading and Harrisburg. But then you are competing with Beiber Tourways. |
