  • The Exclusive Bus Lane (XBL) is a 2.5 mile contra-flow bus lane traveling along New Jersey Route 495, leading from the New Jersey Turnpike to the Lincoln Tunnel. It operates during the weekday morning peak period (from approximately 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m.), and is one of a three-part priority bus system, which includes the Lincoln Tunnel and the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

    It's just a maze leading into the PA Bus Terminal. Won't know how much could be done to expand, even build a new one. There wouldn't be anywhere else to put it.

    I miss those peaceful Gods, Witches and Vamps I used to drive from Translyvania, PA. We used to take this lane in the morning.
    I would have fun picking which of the 3 ways I would choose to enter the lane every morning.
    Haven't been out there since the Sun changed, at least behind the wheel.

      I asked the operator that question and it would cause more congestion though he admittedly thought it was a good idea as well. Many people come into the city as much if not more than those in the morning rush. I forgot how he exactly told me but it'd cause a bigger congestion pretty much.

      Because there is a great deal of city bound traffic in the afternoons, whereas in the AM rush there is not much NJ bound traffic.

    I used to drive the express bus to JFK or LGA. I just KNOW why they called the DBA VIDEO TOURS!!!!!
    I regrettably turned the bus in one day and resigned (still the so called fans locked me up later).
    I think I got locked up because I got my first apartment ALONE. You should have heard the Grimy Ass subway commuters.
    We had to get a NEW SUN things got so bad.

    Is it just me or does the 'normal' lanes look to be moving quicker upto the tunnel toll booths. In which case, is this not just causing extra traffic?
    In my opinion, they need 2 'bus' lanes next to eachother to speed up buses upto the tunnel then merge it into a single lane. Surely the slow speed can't be doing passengers or the environment any good.
    Can the Lincoln Tunnel accommodate double decker coaches? If so, I think that will be the solution when Port Authority gets rebuilt.

    • @zachary456
      @zachary456 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes the normal lanes look faster, but if the busses were there it would be full, and also the busses are carrying a lot more people, I think the Lincoln tunnel can just barely fit double deckers, you can see a mega bus coming from the opposite direction

      @trainenthusiast0903 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The 2 orange lights on the bus in front are for braking resistance. It's to show drivers who are behind the bus to show the bus is slowing down using the retarder gauge as its first application to slow the bus before coming to a complete stop..cautionary lights like hazard lights on cars and SUVs
