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)
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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lensovet ( talk • contribs)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
Im not on Wikipedia enough to feel comfortable making edits yet, but maybe someone can update this section now that this service is being cut here is the ref : http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/03/casinos_end_aces_express_train.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.242.88.6 ( talk) 09:27, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Just wondering. — Rickyrab. Yada yada yada 21:15, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Under the terms of Wikipedia challenging, I have deleted this section from the article. Please add it back only after sourcing it. -- AEMoreira042281 19:48, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
"^ NJ TRANSIT BOARD APPROVES NEW YORK – ATLANTIC CITY EXPRESS RAIL SERVICE" (footnote 6) appears broken and probably should be removed. 66.234.220.195 ( talk) 03:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm curious why there was a map requested. There is already a map on New Jersey Transit rail operations. Or is this for the bus routes? Thanks. -- ChrisRuvolo ( t) 23:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
In this edit, the svg logo was removed and replaced with the PNG. Why? -- ChrisRuvolo ( t) 17:49, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Since this section covers only rail, should it be moved to New Jersey Transit Rail Operations? oknazevad ( talk) 17:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps this should go under history, but NJ transit recently raised all fares by at least 25% and eliminated the off-peak round trip ticket. This change is pretty controversial and worth noting in the article. Many commuters to NY are considering other forms of transportation because of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alewin99 ( talk • contribs) 13:15, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
So recently there was move request at Talk:Main Line (NJ Transit) proposing to move that article to Main Line (New Jersey Transit) with the principal that the disambiguator should be consistent with the title of this article. But while contemplating it, it struck me that if anything this article should be moved to NJ Transit. Not only does the agency itself always use "NJ Transit", so does the local media, including northjersey.com Bergen Record), NJ.com (The Star Ledger), CBS, ABC, Fox and even The New York Times. In spoken word, though only my observation, the "NJ" is used slightly more than "New Jersey". In short, "NJ Transit" is the WP:COMMONNAME, and should be used as the title of the main article. This would also affect other articles, particularly the articles on the operating units New Jersey Transit Bus Operations and New Jersey Transit Rail Operations, as well as the disambiguators at River Line (New Jersey Transit) and West Trenton Line (New Jersey Transit), so a centralized discussion seems to be the best choice. Any thoughts? oknazevad ( talk) 21:44, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Notified the projects listed above oknazevad ( talk) 01:12, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
So, after waiting a few extra days (having been really busy), I made the move. So now comes the hard part. While moving New Jersey Transit Bus Operations will take 3 seconds, and the technical request for New Jersey Transit Rail Operations only slightly longer, the sheets number of links is pretty big. Now, because of WP:NOTBROKEN, we don't need to change every single link right away, though over time it would be a good idea to have a consistent use of the common name around Wikipedia. But I think the priority should be fixing links in templates, especially navboxes. Any help would be appreciated, as I don't use automated tools (I edit on my phone too much, and I don't like the interfaces for the most part; they're written by and for people used to coding programs, which I also dislike). oknazevad ( talk) 15:27, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
