Did they employ drivers a wage and fringe benefits package like those given to New Jersey Transit employees or did they pay crap wages?Don't know for sure, but they sure couldn't have kept the work force they did if they weren't paying them well. The 24 was one of the NJT routes that was actually fully reprivatized after joint operations between NJT and different private companies. Did they maintain the buses to high standards* or did they cut corners and get "free" buses from the state to cover their capital costs? Almost all of their buses were former NYCT Grummans. They even had a few Fishbowls (GM, not Flxible) in regular service, and those were the best out of their fleet. Did they maintain frequent service during off-peak hours that was reasonable, or did they magically disappear middays and after 7 PM? Look at Route 24's present-day schedule under Roach USA. O.N.E. ran the same timetable. In addition, the 24 amalgamated most of the former NJT route 30 First Street (for a while, route 50) in Elizabeth, which became the Elizabeth Avenue division of route 24. did they have to cross subsidize less profitable services like NJT does in order to provide some semblance of state-wide service NJT doesn't really have to do that. They're a behemoth of bloat. |
