That’s a ridiculous statement. You’re probably a covid denying trump traitor who trolls writers on patch.com

Those knuckleheads blame Murphy for everything

NJT was the LEASE HOLDER for DeCamp, they will take over those routes and make everyone’s life better

Yes they did.

I don’t live there but have been, so my opinion is based on quick observation and initial vibe and could be partially accurate… it’s red neck country. People like ATVs, Jeeps, pick ups and guns. That’s my thing so I’d feel right at home there but not for everyone.

It will be a boost to them, Decamp was a shitty unreliable company. NJT will be better for all of them.

Good fucking riddance. Decamp was a shitty bus company that had a monopoly where NJT was letting them operate because the family that owned them had been in the area doing business since covered wagon days. The buses were never on time in the decade plus that I lived in Bloomfield, I was late so many times because buses just wouldn’t show up or would be so packed that they’d just pass me by. I had to commute on BICYCLE to the nearest area (Clifton) to have access to more buses and not lose my job (happened way more than a few times over the years I lived there).

Fuck em. Now NJT will expand in to those areas, allow bulk monthly sales that decamp did NOT. Their multi packs EXPIRED within a few month earning them bigger profits if you had weeks between freelance jobs like I did.

So glad to hear they’re done, all those areas it served will be better off with NJT.

Actually you don't have to use that Bridge as you could just simple use one of the Abandoned lines that branch off before the bridge and connect into the Morristown line.

Wow I remember my commute Nutley to NYC on the Decamp what a shame

Yup you’re right. Especially when you compare Newark to other similarly sized cities there’s really not a lot going on but that has more to do with NYC being ten miles away and most of the action being concentrated there.

I mean no city is ever fully gentrified. Even in Brooklyn there’s plenty of spots that aren’t in great shape still (Brownsville, east New York, etc)

It’s gentrifying pretty rapidly now

🤣

The town lobbied NJT to run less trains on weekends to avoid noise. Montclair can fuck off. If you don’t want public transit then you don’t get it.

As a Verona resident the decamp bus was my only way to get into city in a single shot. I guess it’ll be the train from walnut street or Bay Street. Is motorcycle parking free there or do you need to pay for a spot? What’s the parking situation like?

This is a little misleading and incorrect. There are trains every two hours on the weekends, you just need to transfer at Newark Broad Street and hop on the Dover line to get to NY Penn, which is just walking off the train and on to the one on the other side of the platform. If you don't transfer, the train goes to Hoboken and you can easily take the PATH.

Damn. This sucks for Verona and the Caldwells

Lol he was the worst

So many train stops..but the weekend service on that line is abysmal.

NJ Transit needs to take over these lines!

Yea I know. But let the kvetching begin!

?? Montclair has 7 NJT train stops.

Interesting. I was his grade and in model congress also. We probably know each other.

The DeCamp buses were very convenient for Bloomfield; Montclair; West Orange. etc. I don't think that NJ Transit will take over that service, since they are doing a lot of revamping of their own bus lines. DeCamp will surely be missed for transit into NYC.

Well both Tenafly and Ramapo were left to disintegrate, though I heard Tenafly is being revamped. Don't know how we have so many people and so fewer amenities than other more random places. It is a very strange gap.

Nutley is a little bit of a drive for me. But if I'm down there, I might as well go to the new Montclair park!

For some reason, it’s hard to find skateboarding information around here. It’s like a secret club or you’re looking at websites from ten years ago

The underground in nutley might have some more advice on where to go. They were really helpful setting my kid up with gear
