Plus, a group of students from Rutgers University’s Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy shared their plans to offer increased bus service between different municipalities. The northern and southern parts of Central New Jersey are extremely divided when it comes to public transportation, since bus and rail routes along the Raritan Valley corridor in Union, upper Middlesex, and upper Somerset Counties are largely unconnected from those on the Northeast Corridor in central and lower Middlesex and Somerset Counties.
