Peter Yacobellis, who serves Montclair's Township Council at-large, issued a statement to residents saying he had contacted U.S. Venezia assured commuters he would share updates as options are presented to him. "We are also discussing our options in-house with our shuttle service to our train station and possibly to Allwood Ave park-and-ride." "We recognize that many residents rely on the bus line to get to work and we are reaching out to our partners in the state to discuss possible solutions to address the void this will leave for some commuters," Bloomfield Mayor Michael Venezia stated in a Facebook post. Phil Murphy, said the governor's office would not currently comment on the potential for a state-issued bailout and referred all questions to NJ Transit's existing statement. Officials at NJ Transit vowed they would alert riders to potential solutions before DeCamp's commuter routes fold on April 7.īailey Lawrence, deputy press secretary to Gov. It added, "Part of that assessment is identifying the alternatives already available on existing NJ Transit bus, rail and light-rail service." In the early days of the pandemic, when social distancing and masking were two of the only defenses for essential workers who relied on public transit to get to work, the agency added service to the most in-demand bus routes to accommodate distancing.The agency released only a brief statement, saying it was "currently assessing the impacts of DeCamp's decision to cease their limited post-pandemic commuter service." The pandemic forced NJ Transit to be more adaptable when it came to modifying its bus service to meet ridership demands. 88 through North Bergen and Jersey Cityincreased 52% and the No. 2 through Secaucus and Jersey City increased 18% on an average weekday the No. Those changes and the significantly improved service overall led to jumps in ridership numbers across all six lines when comparing June 2022 to September 2022.
Meanwhile, NJ Transit has put additional resources into especially the 10 and 119, by adding more scheduled trips to these lines and using articulated buses, the long buses that bend in the middle, which carry more passengers than other models.
