Route 966 was renumbered to 878 and 879 in October 2010, with 879 being discontinued in 2016. Route 976 was renumbered to 612 on Jbecause it is not a contracted route. Provides alternate reverse-peak service for Gladstone Branch customers at Murray Hill and New ProvidenceĪll of these routes except 879, 966 and 976 were discontinued after due to budgetary constraints.Springfield Avenue (reverse peak to/from Summit) Fire everybody from management to staff and privatize it.See List of New Jersey Transit bus routes 800–880 Overall, what a terrible service, dirty, poor or no communications, poor or ineligible signage for trains or directions, slow or complete lack of service. No doubt it must have been the same person who labeled the platforms. Why would you put an intermediate train stop after the final destination. Somehow we figured out which train was heading to NY Penn and that the mysterious “NY City SEC “ meant NY Penn Station with a stop in Secaucus. If you missed her announcement you were out of luck. Only a female staff member walked by and with a bored attitude made one announcement as she was receding into the crowd. There were no announcement on the train loudspeaker. Some trains were heading to “NY City SEC.” Who was the brain trust that came up with this brilliant nomenclature? We were looking at the signage for NY Penn Station, the end station. The Platforms are labeled “A”, “1”, “4” and “5”. On our return trip, at the Air Train Terminal to switch for NJ Transit a similar conundrum awaits the passengers. No ticket office, no signage, no directions.

Even more aggravating, there is NOBODY in sight to ask a question. Once you get off at the last station of Path on the Jersey side, there are no signage what train to take to catch the Air Train for Newark Airport. My focus here is on the terrible state and management of NJ Transit. It took us almost 3 hours the first direction (Path, NJ Transit, two trains, plus AirTrain), and 2 hours on the return (Air Train to Newark, NJ Transit to NY Penn, Subway). We took, among other public transportation systems, NJ Transit from NY City to Newark Airport, and two weeks later the same in reverse to avoid the exorbitant cab prices ($120).
