yeah, the app works well. it does seem like if you don't know the app, you'll have to use google maps or something similar but that only tells you immediate timings of train and buses.

Only real decision is which wonder bagel to go to.

No, it cannot. But the Governor wants to throw red meat to the construction unions because he wants to run for President.
Hell no.
Mr. “progressive” Governor who cares so much about climate change when he wants to pander, but can’t seem to find the spine to say no to billions of dollars of spending roads for cars and fossil fuel plants that poison the air.

Stay home plan on watching ABC/NBC, pass out by 11PM. Wake up grumpy at 8AM. Go to Wonder Bagel, complain about parking, get a PECSPK. That is the JC way.

WORD, sorry if that sounded patronizing lol, there is a VERY wide range of understanding of the area when people get here.
yes as op said, apps like transit and Google maps are good for finding the actual bus stop intersection and routes that stop there. from there you can look it up on the njt mybus tool.
but you're not crazy, they simply leave out half the stops on "paper" schedules in the interest of UI friendliness, and it drives me nuts too; I used to just use the closest stop and estimate before the mybus tool which should have every stop.

Well there's your answer

Got it. That does seem to work OK (rider tools --> trip planner). Thank you.
I wonder why that functionality isn't available on their website? Seems like maybe you'd want people to plan trips without an app as well.

I voted for Murphy. Twice. But this boondoggle prelude to a Presidential run is appalling. There is zero justification for this project.

use the transit app in that situation. it will tell you the bus lines in the immediate area as well as the time each bus will arrive.
it will also show available time for the light rail and path trains as well. if you do not know anything, that is the best app since it will show you the entire route for the bus if you want to see where it goes.

Massive game changer. I almost never go into the city on weekends because it's such a pain to time the bus when it runs once an hour. Every half hour is a huge step in the right direction

Thank you, but that is not my problem (I may be a moron, but not so big a moron I don't know the difference between a train and a bus)
Say I go to the NJ Transit site:
https://www.njtransit.com/bus-to
I know there is a bus stop at Hamilton Park, but I don't know the line number (Hypothetical).
What do I do to figure out when that bus arrives and where it goes?
I ask because I know there are a lot of bus stops in the area that aren't JSQ, but I have no idea to source a good way of how to get to them, or what buses service them on what schedule.
If I already know the exact stop (by #) or the schedule it is fine. How do I discover routes if I just know the area I would like to arrive in, and it's not a station?

I’m just here to say (as a predominantly dog person) that your cat is gorgeous. Those eyes are stunning.
Good luck, hope you find someone good!

NJ Transit app has live tracking for your bus stop; each stop has a identifying #. you can look up the stop and see which busses are coming at any given time.
however from your post stating that it 'only shows the JSQ trains' it seems you are looking at departures for the PATH train, which is an entirely different system from NJ Transit (and NYC Transit). the app for the PATH (ridePATH) only has PATH departure info, youll need to download NJ Transit for busses and non-PATH trains (including the light rail)...its actually a pretty good app for finding and buying tickets for busses!

Related:
No. 126 Weekdays: 10 trips will be added to New York between 7:30 AM and 9:00 AM, with seven of these trips serving Clinton Street.
No idea how many of these will include the HP stop

Maybe this isn't the right place, but how the hell do you actually find bus options? I can look on NJ transit, but I can only seem to get the JSQ trains on there.
Like, if I know there is a bus stop at a certain corner how do I figure out where that goes and when? Or, if I know I want to get to a certain area of a certain town that I know has bus stops, but not a station, is there a good way to look that up?
Or, do I just have to already know the line somehow?
For example, I know there is a bus stop at Hamilton Park, I know I can get on that and go to Port Authority. How would I go about getting those directions online (without already knowing the line number).
Sorry if this is all basic and I am a moron.

We’ve outgrown our current footprint. Traffic isn’t gonna get better. There’s not enough space on the roads for the amount of people flowing in and out of the holland / Lincoln.
