RT @colleenallreds I asked Corbett about comparing to their in-house bus operations benchmark and what it would take to bring in-house. The Academy bid fell below their cost benchmark, indicating it’s cheaper for NJ Transit assuming there are no change orders.
Main thing to keep in mind: NJT bus operations is over capacity in all but one of its 16 if bus garages. Market Street garage in Paterson is 50%+ over capacity.
efforts are under way to add garages but they need a lot more funding
