Do most of your travel needs take you into the city ie. work, doctors appointment, social life? How often do you need to travel into the city? Finally, which do you prefer (VIA or bus service) to manage connections to long range travel modes (ie. PATH or light rail)?

I absolutely would not. That’s a clumsy aggregation.

I've seen robberies come up on this sub and no police show up.

Good, gtfo. And go elsewhere in NJ where the property taxes are even higher and you'll understand how low they were here in JC vs the rest of the state

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Interesting, a park being used by by families and schools in an urban environment?! How dare they!! What about the dog only sections, they’re no better and most people don’t want to plop down for a picnic or have their kids play in an area where dogs are shitting and running free. They’re just as bad. Lack of sun and overuse by ALL. Thank your demigod Fulop for over developing and not having any foresight into infrastructure.

County jobs are better than city ones. More money and better benefits

“Well they haven’t murdered me yet so I think they’re doing a decent job” - the bar is low apparently

Remember when they were busted for assaulting an innocent bystander who was on fire because they thought it was the driver they were chasing?

What makes bus service reliable during rush hour? To clarify, is it that they arrive more frequently, avoid traffic, arrive on time?

Would you then rank safety, speed, as a top motivational factors in choosing your travel means?

23 years here. Take the dust bowl over the needles and homeless of years past. They have reseeded and barricaded many times. It’s heavily shaded and heavily used. Grass doesn’t stand a chance.

Would you be more or less likely to use an on demand travel service ( eg. Via) over bus service if there were to be minimal to no wait time? Also, how often do you use on demand travel services like VIA?

Below average and they pull in a median of $120K annually, and that’s not even going into pension cost. But that’s not a problem according to this sub.

The neighborhoods listed were included simply due to inclusivity and the nature of travel in urban environments. Having access to a bus line <15mins away is likely not sufficient to meet all travel needs or preferences of a community. Also, when someone reconsiders living in a neighborhood because access to a train or light rail is 15mins away can indicate that more can be done to make living in those areas more convenient for all.

Are there any organizations that raise awareness against the reckless JCBOE spending? It’s ridiculous that these people don’t get voted out with how much they inconvenience tax payers. Think of how expensive property is in this city and the city takes a percentage of all those super inflated property values and somehow still manages to say it’s not enough year after year.

Yes I use the bus to get around the city and to NYC. I live a block from Central where the 119 stops on every block so it’s just the easiest means of transportation. I do most of my shopping and errands on Central as well so I mostly walk around unless the weather isn’t great. Taking the path adds another step since I don’t live within walking distance.

Would you prefer a more direct means of travel ie. one that does not stop at every street? Some might desire less stops between them and their destination, but don’t have access to that in their neighborhood.

Are you new here? HP had a huge renovation to make it what you enjoy today that we were barricaded for years to use.
