The S62 runs as a Victory Blvd local during rush hours, east of Jewett Avenue. Also, since the S66 has been rerouted to serve Grymes Hill (which was a benefit for riders in that area, due to the additional connections it provides), it has probably become less attractive to riders going to St. George.As far as the market for travel to Perth Amboy and Elzabeth, the problem becomes for people without cars who have to make those types of trips. Even if a person has a car, the toll is $8 to cross the bridge, whereas the bus can do the trip for $2.25. I could understand being hesitant to create a new route, but these markets could be served by exissting routes: Elizabeth could be served by the S40/S90, and Perth Amboy could be served by the S56 (or the S74 if it were split) |
