thread_title:  Expansion request - privatization 

message: 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
. 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)

replies: text: Actually, I now notice there is already two infoboxes. Some of the information seems duplicated. Is there anyway to put it all in one box? Chuck(contrib) 04:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really, because SG rail is a railroad-only box, and Public Transit is public transit only. We could make our own table, but without any templates. lensovet 02:49, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I would like to point everyone's attention to a template I created specifically for use on NJT rail station articles. The template is  and its purpose is to replace the currently-used . Please see the template talk for detailed instructions on how to use it; it is a LOT simpler than the current  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)

message: 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)

thread_title:  Route map 

message: 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)
replies: text: The proposed service will operate via the Northeast Corridor line to Frankford Junction, then cross the Delair Bridge into Pennsauken (Camden County), where it will join the existing NJ Transit Atlantic City Rail Line.  This is according to the Cherry Hill (NJ) Courier-Post in it's Friday, 15 December 2006 editions. Ctrabs74 18:10, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct, perth amboy isn't anywhere near this route. my guess would be secuacus, newark penn, maybe trenton, and that's it. otherwise this service is going to be too slow anyway. —lensovet–talk – 20:42, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Route of NYC-Atlantic City Train

message: 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)

thread_title:  Future section

message: 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)
thread_title:  Fare hikes 

message: 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)
replies: text: I'll acquiesce to anything that follows WP:CONSISTENCY. I think NJ Transit is the common name, so I'll go with that. epicgenius (talk) 22:22, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you've made a solid argument that "NJ Transit" is the common name.--Cúchullain t/c 23:08, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Here's my concern. Everyone with any knowledge would immediately recognize New Jersey Transit as NJ Transit, and it wouldn't make it a big problem. I would imagine that NJ Transit already redirects to this page. I will do some research within the state's info and come back with a definitive link about their marketing and/or more info regarding this subject.TJH2018 (talk) 02:22, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: As I already said, NJ Transit always uses that name in their public materials, including all over their website at njtransit.com. Now while the law creating the agency may use the full "New Jersey Transit Corporation", WP:OFFICIALNAME holds true. As it stands we already leave off the "Corporation", so this is njst correcting the common name per WP:COMMONNAME. oknazevad (talk) 03:58, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

text: re "why do the readers need to know what "NJ" is?" -- Well, without checking: probably clarified in or near the lede of both WP:DAB and WP:TITLE. -DePiep (talk) 15:36, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: If the clarification is in the lead, then we don't need it in the title. We already know that the Main Line is a NJ Transit service. Now it's just one step more to find out what NJ Transit stands for. I doubt that people are that lazy. epicgenius (talk) 15:52, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

text: Yeah, the name of the operator will definitely be best for disambiguation. But the real question, for this article, is WP:COMMONNAME. Again, I think Oknazevad has made a solid case for "NJ Transit" being the most common.--Cúchullain t/c 14:50, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Um, dude, we're discussing the name of the article New Jersey Transit at Talk:New Jersey Transit. This isn't Talk:Main Line (NJ Transit). That discussion was closed pending the outcome of this discussion. You're discussing the wrong thing. We are not talking about the title of the Main Line article. So please stay on topic. oknazevad (talk) 15:52, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Touché. -DePiep (talk) 15:56, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

text: , I don't think there's a need for a formal RM. Several editors have weighed in and there are no objections, and at the moment RM is heavily backlogged. Waiting a bit to see if there's any other objection would be fine, but even after a move, if objections turn up we can open an RM then.--Cúchullain t/c 14:26, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I'll wait till the 24th (the same conventional 7 days as a formal RM, and if I see no cutlet her major objections, I'll move it then. oknazevad (talk) 15:14, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: This article can be moved uncontroversially to "NJ Transit", as can New Jersey Transit Bus Operations to "NJ Transit Bus Operations." However, New Jersey Transit Rail Operations cannot be moved to "NJ Transit Rail Operations" for consistency, because "NJ Transit Rail Operations" already has a history. Therefore, if we move this article, we have to file a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests for "NJ Transit Rail Operations". epicgenius (talk) 23:15, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
