[edit] Expansion request - privatization

Please help improve this article or section by expanding it. Further information might be found on the talk page or at requests for expansion. |
List of privatizations includes New Jersey Transit, but there's not a good explanation in the article about public/private ownership issues or history. -- Beland 21:16, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Infoboxes!
Hello all, I wanted to add a public transit infobox to this page but realized that this is kind of hard to do! The infobox template is {{Template:Infobox Public transit}}. However, I'm not sure what figures to use for some of the parameters, such as system length, lines, and number of stations. For example, would bus routes be included in number of lines? Help me out, or put it up on the main page as you wish. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lensovet (talk • contribs).
- This article already uses {{Infobox SG rail}}, so another one probably isn't needed. Chuck(contrib) 04:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

- Actually, I now notice there is already two infoboxes. Some of the information seems duplicated. Is there anyway to put it all in one box? Chuck(contrib) 04:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- Not really, because SG rail is a railroad-only box, and Public Transit is public transit only. We could make our own table, but without any templates. lensovet 02:49, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- I made an infobox, Infobox NJT. I put it in some articles. Geoking66 23:59, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NJ Transit station articles - templates to use
I would like to point everyone's attention to a template I created specifically for use on NJT rail station articles. The template is {{NJT rail line}} and its purpose is to replace the currently-used {{rail line}}. Please see the template talk for detailed instructions on how to use it; it is a LOT simpler than the current {{rail line}} and eliminates the need for piped links. Here's a sample edit which shows the changes necessary to make when doing the conversion. Thanks! lensovet 20:29, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Station name links
Hello, we now have a new template for linking to stations, {{njt-sta}}! It means that now there is absolutely no need to type piped links into station articles! Check out its talk page for instructions. lensovet 22:53, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Route map
The route map was deleted by FairUseBot, but I highly doubt that there is any copyright issue warranting deletion. It's a widely distributed, publicly available map of the rail system made for public use by NJT for pete's sake. Wl219 00:55, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- It would seem worthy of restoration if there were no justification by FairUseBot. Dogru144 20:49, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Route of NYC-Atlantic City Train
Can anyone provide information as to what exact path the train will take? Historical maps show a north-south interior route that runs from the vicinity of Red Bank in eastern Monmouth County to Winslow Junction northwest of Hammontown. Dogru144 20:49, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] no intermediate stations between NYC and Atlantic City
It seems hasty to have this route make no intermediate stops for NJ residents. Sensible locales for this would be Newark and Perth Amboy. Dogru144 20:49, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
