Until recently, almost all morning rush hour trips started at the Congress Street Light Rail station. The second change is to the 123, a bus that connects Palisade Ave in Jersey City and New York to the Port Authority. NJ Transit will benefit because they won’t spend as much money running buses that aren’t needed. My assumption is that it means a small number of fares that would have gone to NJ Transit will now go to jitney drivers’ living. It will be interesting to see how this change affects the jitney world.
So are the Bergenline buses at most times of day, but that’s another story. I have seen these buses, and they are almost always close to empty. The 84 probably has low ridership because it competes against jitney buses that run every 1-2 minutes.
The new timetable shows service on weekdays being reduced from a bus every 15 minutes to a bus every 20 minutes. The 84 is a local route that uses the same streets as the Bergenline jitney bus route between Journal Square and North Bergen. This time around, the schedules are changing for the 84 and the 123. Since I interned at NJ Transit’s bus scheduling office one summer, i find it interesting to see how the timetables change every season on the various bus routes in my area.
