So a max of $10 per trip with multiple passenger pickups and dropoffs? That doesn't sound like it would make much money.
- upon_drumhead 3y agoPopulation is about 25k in around 65 square miles of developed area. The high density area is only 10 square miles. As it's a bus system, it doesn't need to make a ton of money, it just doesn't need to lose any, as it's a public service.

- antonvs 3y agoWhat’s your point? I was responding to the claim that this bus system “makes money”. In any case, the New Jersey Turnpike’s revenue for 2022 was over $2.4 billion dollars.
