Group to Port Authority * USA - Add express bus lane to N.J.
New York,NY,USA -APP.com, by Larry Higgs -May 14, 2009— A mass transit advocacy group called on the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to make improvements for the growing number of bus commuters crossing the Hudson River, including providing an express bus lane for the return trip to the Garden State... The return express lane is among the recommendations in a report the group released Thursday. An express bus lane back to New Jersey during the evening rush would shorten the ride for bus commuters and get buses out of general traffic, it said. Now, the express bus lane is operated during the morning rush for New York-bound commuter buses. It was created in 1971, using a westbound lane of I-495 through the Lincoln Tunnel... Tri-State's concern is that commuter bus traffic and use will grow faster than the rate of improvements. The report said 9,000 buses move 315,000 people across the Hudson River every day...
