      <description><![CDATA[Mr AVI P, hasbrouck heights, nj, United States of America<p>PLEASE DO NOT STOP 978 BUS ROUTE.. BUSES ARE FULL AND THIS IS THENONLY WAY TO GET TO WORK AT RARITAN CENTER FROM NEWARK FOR COMMUTERS. IF THE BUS STOPS IT WOULD BE A BIG PROBLEM FOR MANY COMMUTERS WHO GETS TO RARITAN CENTER. IF YOU REALLY HAVE TO YOU COULD REDUCE THE FREQUENCY FROM 4 TO 2 RATHER THAN COMPLETELY ELIMINATING THE LINE.</p>

<p>AGAIN PLEASE DO NOT DISCONTINUE 978 !!!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ms alicia quintela, bayonne, nj, Spain<p>I do not think the 978 should be taken off the road alot of people depend on this to get to and from work.  I feel the 979 should be combined with 978 there is not alot of people that ride the 979.  For me personel that would be more money I would need to spend on another train and bus it takes me 2 hrs to get home if this bus leaves it will take me longer to get home.  Please understand where we are coming from none of us can afford to lose our jobs.  Please do not take this bus away.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[felicia mckey, newark, nj, United States of America<p>bottom line is..... stop this bus line and we&#039;ll be going to the unemployment line. Is it not bad enough with just trying to get a job,yet, now we need<br />
to keep our jobs,housing, the luxury of feeding our families, clothing ourselves etc...<br />
Taking an increase in fares is far better than beatin the streets for new jobs that are just not out there and becoming part of the problem instead of the solution.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ms Linda Johnson, Westfield, NJ, United States of America<p>Bus line 978 with pick up and drop off in Newark allows commuters to get back and forth to work and to make their further bus or rail connections to get home.  This line is important to the employees as well as the employers of Raritan Center to keep positions filled and continued productivity. Losing this line could possibly have people lose their jobs hence forcing more stress on the unemployment system</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ms Darlene Jones, Orange, New Jersey, United States of America<p>The proposed 25-30% fare increase is unfair due to the state of the economy. Most riders have not received a pay increase in about 2 years. What part of recession do you not understand? Where are we supposed to get the money to pay the increase? I am also concerned about the proposed elimination of the 978 and 979 bus lines, most riders on this line have no other means of transportation to work. There is no other reasonable transportation to the area these lines cover.</p>]]></description>

If possible I am asking not to discontinue the services or at least keep one line open.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[chris brocke, irvington, nj<p>By taking these services away, i.e. the 978 &amp; 979, a lot workers will be put out of work or lose their jobs. 99% of the people who patronise the transport service do not own cars or any other means of transport to and from their workplaces. By this directive, Gov. Christie and NJ Transit are effectively putting these hardworking men and women in the unemployment line and bringing untold hardships to their families and dependants. Do we deserve this??</p>]]></description>
